tanaruz · 11th March 2023, 01:20 PM

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
