Here is a classic barong/barung of the S. Philippines Moros, but this one has a very slightly different and shorter blade profile, as it has a straighter spine and deeper "belly" than more typically seen examples. This one is almost certainly pre-20th century.
This example is 21.5in. overall, with a blade of 12.5in. and is 2.75in. at its widest point. The blade is typically thick and heavy. The elegant and elongated hilt is carved from hardwood with simple motifs carved into the... pommel. The grip is wrapped in woven fibers, lacquered black, and features a typical silver(alloy) ferrule. The original scabbard is from carved hardwood, 100% intact, and bound with rattan bands(restored) that intertwine through its length. Note the detailed carvings to the scabbard mouth and scabbard tip.
This is a superb example of an out-of-the-ordinary Moro barong in excellent condition.
There is a $25.00 shipping and insurance fee on this item within the US, more elsewhere.
