Michael:
     
 Thanks very much for showing this beautiful barung. In my experience it is rare to find extensive inlaid work on the blade of a barung. I have one example of a high end barung with inlaid brass designs -- our fellow Forumite, Battara, did an excellent restoration of that barung and there may still be pictures on this site. Other than my example, I don't recall more than a couple other barung that I have seen with inlaid designs.

   Here is the link to that thread on the old web site. Pictures are shown before and after restoration.
