Barung, Bola, Bolo

While on a road trip, my wife wanted to stop at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, in Kingman AZ. This is part of their display. I inadvertently left out the Boleadera out of the photo.

I take it that one is a Roedoïh & the other a Tjot Jang.
To my untrained eyes they look the same. Can you please point out the differences.
I like the octagonal suasa ferrule.
Thanks for sharing

Sajen - Thanks. They’re both about the same age. Long blades as well.


chmorshuutz - it does have some resemblance to a Bangkung blade, could be a later version.

The blade is pretty dark, I wonder if it’s the original stain.


I also like the native repair.

Where is this Shield from?

Can anyone please name the culture that this circular rattan shield is from?
Initially I thought the shield was Chinese but the size & shape makes me doubt that it is.
Thanks.

I’ve always wondered why some ivory hilted sandata survived unscathed, all intact with clean blades, perhaps these were the ones owned by the community members other than the soldiers and raiders.

Do you think the divot on the blades edge is a forging flaw or something else?
