VERY NICE ! I LIKE THE CLASSIC FORM OF HANDLE ON THE PEDANG (I SAW THIS MATERIAL REFERED TO AS HAMSTER BONE RECENTLY

) ITS A SHAME THE HAMSTER BONE HANDLE WAS DAMAGED ON THE KRIS. WHICH DAYAK TRIBE USES THE SHORT COLORED HAIR AND CARVED ANTLER OR BONE ON THE SCABBARD.? I THINK THE AX MAY BE AFRICAN BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AS YOU SAY.

Hi Chregu,
Could be wrong as this is not my area of collecting, but I think that the bamboo container is probably to house blow pipe darts.
