The rounder Moro handles are more similar in this way to mainland SEA handles. Bubble, thoughts, bubble.......

Does anyone else have a theory or info on the significance behind the matte black coating of the scabbard?

What is it made of? I am assuming the same kind of laquer that they used on hilt wrappings to make them black as well.

I know that the black coating in the front of Halmahera shields (salawaku) is from a burned plant-leaf which have a very similar appearance.
