Tilang Kamerau

[kai]

Hello Thomas!

I bought a the following piece as a jimpul but I was told by a well known collector that this is an tilang kamerau.

A really good piece - congrats!

IMHO this sword can well be considered as jimpul (or as an intermediate/link): This hilt style is typical for jimpul and also the blade ticks quite a lot of boxes even if the tip isn't as steep as in most jimpul blades.

I hope more of the Borneo specialists will comment!

Regards,
Kai
