Murut Pakayun and human hair

Sid, I doubt this is human hair. It is long, straight and coarse--very much like hair from a horse's mane or tail. Moro kampilan sometimes had horse hair "plugs" on their hilts.

I beg to disagree, Ian.

To me it does look like human hair - pics can be deceiving though and Sid needs to confirm in hand.

Regards,
Kai
