Hello,

The artisan/carver of the scabbard resides in Jolo. There's a possibility that his style of okkir carving might have the influence of a Sama-Bajau style. He might be a Sama (origin) and migrated to Jolo.

Our contact in Jolo states that he has quite a few carvers/artisans under him who does the okkir.

Will share barung rebirth # 2 in a while:-)

Saludos,

Yves
