Michael,
NW Borneo for sure, but I never know when I should start calling something Murut. The square pattern is only on one side ? Do you have close ups of the other decorations ? Maybe the lines / squares are more a coastal influence from other parts of the archipelago  I have a hilt with similar features that has a imho chinese dragon carved. That must be a coastal influence too, I assume. |

The Muruts and Dusun were living in the north east part of Borneo:Sabah, and not in the NW part of Borneo???
Or am I misreading something here? Maurice |

Maurice, to me the Western part of Sabah, like Marudu Bay, is NW Borneo
 Willem, the square pattern is only on one side and the other side has a scroll motif. I don't recall a resembling motif from other parts of the archipelago but I am open for suggestions? On yours the interesting dragon probably is a Chinese influence, as you suggested. Michael |
