Chased Barung
once in a great while, one will see barungs with chased and repoussed ferrules. i thought i'd share this. one of the crispier and clearer artwork i've seen done on a punto in a while. junggayan pommel, with excellent laminated blade..

Wow, stunning work! On purely an aesthetic level the blade has great lines to it to accompany the various components.

Nice examples. Yes rare to see Sulu chasing. Does happen, but rare. Congratulations on getting these great pieces.

Wow. That would be a centerpiece of any collection of Philippine arms.
