A couple of barongs. One small. The larger one is, I guess, from about 1970 or so. Not very well finished, but very functional - it cuts things very well indeed.

The top barong has a very pleasing shape. Thanks for sharing.

I'll see if I can take some close-ups on the weekend (alas, my camera isn't the best, but I'll see how it goes).
Certainly could be older than my guess. If it's older than 1950, it's been very well looked after. Doesn't seem to have had much use, so might be old and in good condition. But the chips don't suggest great care. And it's on the crude side, which suggests to me made for use or sale to tourists ('tisn't tourist junk, though). It inspires me to get more barongs! |

Some more photos of the top barong. The unevenness of the blade can be seen in the last photo.
