Square Line pattern Ilang

[asomotif]

Michael,

NW Borneo for sure, but I never know when I should start calling something Murut.

The square pattern is only on one side ?
Do you have close ups of the other decorations ?
Maybe the lines / squares are more a coastal influence from other parts of the archipelago

I have a hilt with similar features that has a imho chinese dragon carved.
That must be a coastal influence too, I assume.
