Interesting piece. The "nose" and top tail are in modified form and wonderfully and intricately carved.

Hi Yves,

Nice modern piece. As Battara notes, very nice carving on hilt and scabbard. Interesting use of tape instead of rattan wrapping.

Hello friends,

Thanks for the inputs.

As for that 'tape wrapping' - my father did ask the same question to a previously-purchased kris owner from a Philippine Constabulary general who had it as a war trophy.

The tape- serves as a rain/water repellent when the barung is carried during the rainy days.

Saludos,

Yves
