Thanks for mentioning the Moro Sumatran connection.
As you know there are several Kris Sundang and some Kampilan in the
museum collections being collected in Sumatra.
Probably from the local colony of Moros that once moved south.
So why not a 2nd generation style Barong?
Seems like all of the Sumatran/Borneo/Moro tracks still are probable?

PS On the VVV pattern with flowers I forgot to add that this is also
sometimes found on Java. But I don't think that this weapon has had
anything to do with Java.
