Another Barong
I am not into Moro weapons and have no expertise. Just wanted to show this one(just ended):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6579388332 Seems to me that one of the Forumites got himself a nice one! Congratulations! |

I think there is a topic for this one, and the barong's new owner preferred not to give the link to the eBay auction.

Have I done something wrong?
If "yes", I sincerely apologize. |

Hi Ariel,
I'm the one that won the bid on this barong and as far as I'm concerned you've done nothing wrong. I have the pictures posted in a thread titled "My Second Barong". I'm just glad you liked it enough to start a thread on it yourself. Robert P.S. The name "Ariel" as in the motercycle, or just your nick-name? |

It's my real one. And you are the first attributing it to British motorcycle: usually people ask whether I was named after Little Mermaid or popular European washing powder.

Ariel,
I was just wondering as years ago I used to be known as "Ariel Mike" because I went by my middle name and rode a 1956 MkII Ariel Square Four. |

I thought "Ariel" was spirit of the air in William Shakespeares "The Tempest".

Ariel is also an angel of God (EL) and a type of gazelle. Pretty cool name.

Well, to be absolutely precise, Ariel is "God's lion" in Hebrew, one of the Biblical names for Jerusalem and one of the names for the Temple's Altar stone.
