Thank you both for comment.
 It was my guess also that it is a Sulu barong but was unsure. The unbroken okir carving at the tail is indeed beautiful. Jose, any guess about the age from this elegancy? Regards, Detlef |

With this form and type of okir, I would say late 1800s.

To my eyes the ferrule looks like carabao horn with top and bottom silver.

Lovely...and one of the most elegant examples I have ever seen.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the so called Chinese "chop mark". We have discussed those here before. |
