Correctly Identifying a Borneo Sword

Text about the "leeches" used by the Bahau tribes by Anton Willem Nieuwenhuis, found "in Central Borneo II" page 364.

A motif, to fill up the empty gaps, is used largly in their swordhandles and - scabbards by the Bahaus, who call these "leeches".

These leeches are perfect for the dajak to use filling these empty gaps, without harming the resemblence with the nature too much...
