Default Bakunawa....

It seems that Bakunawa was often featured on the Visayan deity hilts... but Bakunawa was not someone you wanted to invite over for dinner. It seems that the Visayans actually wanted to keep Bakunawa away (maybe even at times destroy him). It makes an interesting love/hate relationship. No?

True , but one might wish to wield Bakunawa's powers over his enemies with a sword .

Rick,

I understand wanting to have the powers of this charming fellow on your sword and all, but since he has the reputation of being a "home wrecker" & then some... and you would really want to keep him away rather than to invite a visit... and his power resides in the sword... where do you keep your sword at night? If you catch my drift.

Default Cambodian temple at Angkor Wat

These pictures have been "floating" around for a while...

Is it a dinosaur, a dragon, a miss-identified animal?
