			Hello, 
		
		
		
			Happy to share with you a newly-arrived barung from Patikul, Jolo. Age: c. 20th century Hilt: baykaskas (budbud)- silver Hilt: red banati (root) Scabbard: marang wood (johey oak), wrapped with black tape, A piece of old pis siyabit with MOP pieces. OAL: 20.5 inches/ Blade: 13.5 inches Notes: 1. the previous owner was an Imam 2. with talismatic inscription/mark on the blade 3. Marang - a much preferred wood for the scabbard. Easy to carve, light and 'gristly' over time. Saludos, Yves  |
