Interesting parang-ilang of the hunter-gatherer peoples of Borneo (Dayak). Typical asymmetrical blade shape, one flat side, one curved side. Inlay of copper wire and dots on the curved side. Decorated counter-edge. Complex fuse mounted with silk. Bone pommel dressed with a basket weave, beautiful sculpture in the bone (reperce work). In its wooden scabbard dressed with wickerwork (missing cofferdam).
Interesting piece, testimony of the last hunter-gatherer peoples. (2)
