Dayak Parang Swords?

[VANDOO]

A GOOD THING ABOUT YOUR SWORDS IS THEY ALL HAVE AUTHENTIC DAYAK DESIGNS AND ARE CARVED NOT JUST PAINTED ON. SOME HAVE THE DESIGNS PAINTED ON OTHERS HAVE NON DAYAK DESIGNS SUCH AS CHINESE DRAGONS, MERMAIDS, ECT. ALL OF THESE TYPES CAN BE FOUND IN THE MANY SHOPS IN KUCHING. I HAVE ONLY VISITED THE MALAYSIAN PARTS OF BORNEO SO DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY BE COMMING OUT OF THE INDONESIAN PART. DIFFERENT REGIONS DO HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES OF TRADITIONAL AS WELL AS SOUVINEER ARTEFACTS. I DID READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS ONCE AND THEY SAID THE VERY BEST MANDAU WERE MADE UPRIVER IN ONE AREA. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE THAT WAS OR WHERE I FOUND THE ARTICLE. PERHAPS SOME OF THE VERY KNOWLEGABLE COLLECTORS WILL KNOW, MOST OF THE KNOWLEGE OF THIS AREA IS IN THE NETHERLANDS AND WRITTEN IN DUTCH AS THEY HAVE BEEN COLLECTING SERIOUSLY THE LONGEST. SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ALL THINGS DAYAK YOUR LIFES WORK LEARN TO READ AND SPEAK DUTCH AND GERMAN.
