Hello,

This is the 3rd barung that I had restored. It was bought without its scabbard.
Tausug: late 19th century

OAL: 22.25 inches/ blade: 13.5 inches (spine widest area at 1-cm!). A very heavy piece.

Scabbardnew) balayong hardwood (Cassia Javanica/ java cassia/ rainbow shower tree) with ukkil. Made by an artisan/carver from Jolo.

Blade: with Chinese characters

Saludos,
