Poor quality image, but an example of the Bolo type from the collection. Met Museum.

Great clean up! Great twist core! Never seen Jawi on the baka-baka before, nor have I seen hilt bands like that! Silver and swassa - VERY nice.

Battara, is it the combination or materials of the design/assembly of the silver/swassa you have not seen before?

Oh I've seen and made swassa bands before. But the patterns on the swassa bands and their style - no.
