Old type off pakayun

Dajak, I think you can be very proud of this piece. From the land of the pakayun, I've not seen a hilt like yours and it remains the only example of it's kind I've seen to date and perhaps also in books?

Dajak,

I always enjoy seeing your favourite Pakayun with the rare hilt.
I went through my files again but yours and Shelford's are the only one I could find with this hilt.
Maybe it's one of a kind and it's the same?

THANKS FOR POSTING THE PICTURES

THIS PAKAYUN IS A EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF A RARE SWORD. I WAS WONDERING IF THE CARVED INSERTED PIECE IS WOOD, HORN OR SOMETHING ELSE, IT DEFINITELY ISN'T THE SAME KIND OF WOOD USED FOR THE REST OF THE HANDLE. I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT THE MURUT, THEIR CUSTOMS, ORIGINS, HISTORY AND BELIEFS . THEY SEEM TO BE DIFFERENT FROM MOST OF THE OTHER DAYAK TRIBES.
