Here is the difficulty with some of this: there was lots of trade between different parts of Indonesia (Borneo being part of that) and the Moros in the Philippines. You will therefore find Indonesian lantakas in the Philippines (i.e. the attribution in the Hawaii museum) as well as Indonesian keris, etc.

When I say "Moro lantana" I mean Moro Philippine made lantaka. Examples can be found here:
