Nice Barong ended on eBay.

ah I did some research and you're right... African objects in general quite a bit.. but their weaponry, not so much. Like Bill said I wouldn't have paid that much for the barong, but then again I am not a collector of antiques (not that I can afford it), I'm just an appreciator.

Yeah, interesting auction result considering these times of recession. This was a very nice barong once, but considering the damage and the lack of a sheath this figure is way over the top. I don't believe it is a good indicator of where the current market stands.
