Pakayun from Borneo

This is my lat adquisition, a very good pakayunn from Borneo, in very good state. Only have missing one "horn" in the handle. The sheath is engraved and all the piece have a beatiful patina.
I hope enjoy with this piece.
Best Regards
Carlos

Shame about the knob on the pommel, but otherwise a superb example. So nice to find these things with their accoutrements.


Congrats!!

VERY Nice! Long brass ferrule. Congrats on getting a prize!

Beautiful sword. Making a replacement horn shouldn't be to hard if you intend to do so. Congratulations on your new treasure.

This is gorgeous - congrats, Carlos!

Ben, is it known wether Murut etched these blades? This piece has a nice pattern and I saw another example with even more pronounced staining of the similarly laminated blade...

Regards,
Kai
