Default Question about a Jimpul
I have a question about this Jimpul. The handle and sheath contain stylized shapes of items that I cannot identify. No-1: Someone who knew a lot about Krissen assumed that because of Arabic influences it might be the word "Allah".
I can't trace no. 2 to a Dayak motif either.
nr-3 ; the scabbard seems to me the "Tree of life".
Is there anyone out there who can make sense of this?
