More pics: warrior blade pommel with small piece of the crest missing. There also used to be a braided band between the silver sleeve and the pommel (either silver wire or lacquered jute twine).

I don't understand why "A more knowledgeable member commented that this pattern may suggest an Indonesian origin" on a non-Indonesian weapon?  And I don't understand why everything odd from this region "probably is" Borneo? I have also seen this pattern before on other barongs. But so far I haven't read anything about specifically these barongs being either collected, or manufactured, in Borneo/Sabah. Michael PS Very nice barong btw! |

The hilt suggests to me Samal tribe of Moros.

Hi nice Barong but I don t now if this one is from Borneo .
I don t think that the pattern has something to do from place off origine , it is more the style off Handle and scabbard . ( I think) Ben |
