The one from Madura has an odd blade. I could be totally wrong about the area of origin.

Photos are not very good. Here in Washington, we are plunging into darkness
early.

Comments would be appreciated.

kino,

i don't think that's ivory. i believe that's lava from haleakala. that's kapu, brah. you gotta send it to me so i can cleanse it. either that or one of your junggayan ivory barungs. i'm sure that will appease the aumakuas..


right on, good find braddah! when you were in oahu, did you check out the antique store by ala moana shopping center? i believe it's called Antique Alley...
also, did you go see the moro collection at bishop museum?
