hi gav,

fair enough. i'm with you on the possibility that, without the usual embellishment associated with datu/sultan, this particular kampy coul've been a chief's. on similar note, as per cato's book, there's a picture of tausugs posing, on page 6. the person in the middle, with the barung drawn out, is the sultan's brother, but if you notice , his barung is the type we normally regard as commoners'.
if at all possible, could you please post the data and reputation that came with this kampy? it might shed a light as to the origin of this kampy. as i've posted earlier, we can just guess as to the provenance, but with data and the manner it was acquired, it could speak volumes, and we'd be much closer to the truth.
regards
