Beautiful barong for our archives and comment
This beautiful barong was sold recently by ebay, I think it is worth to save the seller pictures for our archives for later reference. Any guesses about the age and origin from this beauty?
Regards, Detlef |

I was watching this. Very nice. To me it appears to be Sulu.
I especially love the okir in the tail section. Rare to have it complete and unbroken. Also I like the contrast of the ivory, black horn spacer, and the burled narra wood hilt. Splendid! Thanks for posting this for the archives.

Thank you both for comment.
It was my guess also that it is a Sulu barong but was unsure. The unbroken okir carving at the tail is indeed beautiful. Jose, any guess about the age from this elegancy? Regards, Detlef |

With this form and type of okir, I would say late 1800s.
