Hi sipakatuo, I do agree with point number 1 and 2 of your opinion. If I may ask, could you provide some examples, pictures of banjarmasin sheath of this design.. I've yet to see and learn more about this sheath form.. currently I'm familiar with the 'gayaman' styles of banjarmasin sheaths and some tanggah forms. Perhaps you're right. It would be nice to see more banjarmasin sheath forms. Hoping to see soon...
