Borneoartifact item number: WE0294 Old Parang Kayan, over 50years old.Total: 93cm / 36.6 inchesBlade & Hilt: 74cm / 29.1 inchesCasing / scabbard: 85cm / 33.5 inchesWeight: 1kg / 2.2 lbAfter packing: 3kg / 6.6 lbA top parang of the Apo Kayan tribes, note the unusually elaborated hilt and scabbard. A Kayan lady is seen sitting and facing a large Lahanan male figure. The scabbard, from end to end is decorated with "Tingang" and "Kalong Kelunang" motifs. Slight split at the back of scabbard(note the small opening line across the lady's leg), otherwise the parang is in good condition. Slight rust on the blade is common and I can wipe it off. The blade resembles very much of a "Niabor" with a curved blade, the edge curves towards the back to the tip instead of the usual "Mandau". Just below the hilt, on the edge, is a beautiful krowit / kundieng. The blade is decorated with motifs of the "Buah Berinjan".
