Very interesting Jimpul with an unusual tip.
But the only thing that looks Murut, and not Iban, as far as I can see is the cut tip of the blade? Nice find! Michael |

I think Kai has a good "point" with the broken motif/engraving. The rest of the Jimpul doesn't look Murut and as you say yourself they are not known for carrying Jimpul. A very unique and interesting parang anyway that probably has a very special story to tell. On the rare Sangkit I haven't seen any with brass dots like that before - congratulations! Could you please post some additional close ups? Michael |

Hi Michael I never see an jimpul out off the scabbard from the muruts
but on old picture s you see the have mandau s and if you take a good look if you see it in real that it is not an cut down and it is typical for muruts this type off blade I am sure if you visit me you will think the same. brass dot s are also in pakayun s as you can see the in the pic s |

Hi Ben,
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Look forward to see them IRL next time we meet. On Muruts and Mandau maybe it's more correct to use the term Gayang for those swords, not being of the characteristic concave/convex blade shape? Michael |

I go along with Vandoo in that you'll need to come to visit the Murut (and the rest of the indigenous) people and give them a glimpse to some of the weapons they had in the past. Do let me know should such a venture materialises. John Han |
