BARUNG REBIRTH 2

tanaruz · 26th March 2023, 06:18 AM

Hello,

This is the 2nd barung (of 3) which we have restored. It was bought together with the Barung rebirth 1- with no scabbard and hilt.

The new scabbard and hilt was made by another artisan (beside the one who made the scabbard/hilt of barung #1) who's also in Jolo:

Circa: late 19th century-present
Kastil type/ laminated

OAL: 24 inches/ blade: 15.75 inches
Hilt(new): made from BALU hardwood (don't know the English name for this type of wood). With braided rings (Pamo material). With ferrule made of brass.

Scabbard: made from teakwood (jati- in Tausug).

Enjoy,

Yves
