Default Panabas Bading

Greetings.

Here is a panabas that I got and restored from Baltimore. The bands are of hemp and copper bands.

What goes around the top and bottom of the exposed narra wooden part of the hilt is a strip made of silver and copper parts (I tested the silver). Copper nails keep this strip of silver and copper sections pinned to the hilt.

The blade is laminated and the top front of the blade is sculpted in semi-okir.

Recently I have been informed (by some very gracious contacts) that this type is called a bading panabas from the Maranao.

Enjoy!
