Micheal, yes Iban, Borneo is quite likely. I have seen other painted artifacts from Borneo. It is looking a lot better after a rub down. I know it is not old but I really like these homemade {for want of a better term} pieces. To me it captures something of the ordinary people. Tim

I say that is rather nice, looks as if it is has about the same age but a fine example. In Albert G. Van Zonneveld " Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago" on page 81 he lists this hilt form as a 'Lasara' monster hilt, which he says is from Nias, like all people that make lists they can appear to be a little bunged up! I must say that is a handsome parang. Tim.
