Another nice MURUT PARANG

[VVV]

Dajak,

Thanks for showing your Murut Parang.
This Parang is quite rare and yours is the best one of them I have seen.
The binding on the hilt is quite unusual, isn't it? Mine has f.i. parallell brass wire.
Yours resemble more the kind of binding one would expect on a Moro sword, like a Sulu Kris?
But maybe that's not so strange considering the mix of cultures in NW Borneo?
