Fantastic indeed! Remarcably well controlled twisted bars while twisting and forging, nearly impeccable pattern as final product.
Congratulations! |

One of the best so far in my opinion. I agree with the craftsmanship relating to the era and conditions.
Some might say that it’s hails from N.Borneo. How thick is the spine nearest the hilt? We think we’ve seen it all until a different one pops out of the woodwork. Thanks for sharing. |

Definitely one of the best barungs I've ever seen.
However, I'm not sure if it was made by the Yakan. |

On the one hand I see Charles' point of the horn punto sleeve being Yakan, and yet on the other hand the pommel is shorter than the usual Yakan barung pommel.
Hmmm..........
