Greetings,
I got this last year and got the tail restored and the bottom gold ring next to the blade. I also etched the blade. The chased sleeve tested out at 10k or more of gold alloyed with silver. This piece is Sulu and, according to Spunger, comes from the town of Bun-Bun. These first 2 pictures are how I got the piece. Enjoy! Last edited by Battara; 8th September 2014 at 02:07 AM. |

Jose,
Lovely piece! What characteristics of this barung identify it as Sulu, and more particularly from Bun-Bun?? |
