Rick,
It's a horn ring. I have seen a resembling decoration as on the silver on two of my Melanau (NW Borneo) parang - a Sadap and a Parang Pedang. Enclosed pictures for you to compare. Otherwise usually the Melanau parang have heavy and thick blades. I just noticed that there are 3 dots in a (female) triangle at the bottom of the scabbard which is usually attributed to Sumatra?
