I'm hoping that I grow up soon so maybe I can have a barong like this too !!!
A stunning piece indeed. This is yet another example of where I wish that these could tell their story and the history that they have seen and been part of. My congratulations for your great luck in being the new caretaker of this wonderful piece.

Best,
Robert

thanks all!
barry, i wouldn't think a shaman would have owned this. as kino mentioned, this particular piece was most likely owned by a warrior raising his odds out on the field.
i'm still perplexed about those broken tips tho... my assumption is, these were done deliberately; on this and on most of what we see out there.
thanks for posting the link, kino! btw, would you happen to have that postcard? i think i know which one you're talking about. when i get home from work, i'll search my database to see if i got a copy of it.
