Slightly unusual Barung

sharing this neat piece...

not the usual type in regards to the shape of the handle. also, the ferrule is made out of braided brass wires, and closest to the blade is a solid brass piece. the matching scabbard is an art unto itself; meticulously carved ukkil on the mouth and tail. especially love the naga ukkil smacked in the middle. blade is an older style and is laminated. i believe Rick has a similar type.
please enjoy, and comments are certainly welcome
