Question On Odd Barong

Horn and silver -- My favourite combination! A very curious, but very nice, piece! Once again I find myself envious of your collection, Mr Coleman.

If it may help; I do find the octagonal handle with those rings at an interval quite similar style as I have seen on the long curved-bladed beheading swords. Hope you know what I mean (or perhaps someone else).
Am not sure myself (100%) of where those beheadingswords where used, but I believe Maranao (tribe), Mindanao isld.?? (my expertise lies more to N.-Phil.)
Congrats though; very nice one; always nice to have a piece of silver deco.

Hello everyone, I would like to thank you all for your help and opinions on this barong as well as the other items. I cannot tell you all how surprised I was when she did this, she is defiantly a keeper.

Indianajones, Do you mean something like this panabas?
