Another interesting Moro sword

THE LINK TO THE KAMPILIAN IAN POSTED REPRESENTS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE LARGE SEA EAGLE, NO PROOF UNFORTUNATELY. THE DESIGN IN THE EYE RESEMBLES A PATTERN USED IN DAYAK TATOOS I CAN'T SEE THE OTHER DESIGNS WELL ENOUGH TO TELL IF THEY HAVE ANY DAYAK INFLUENCE. THE MANDAU AND THE KAMPILIAN HAVE A LOT OF SIMULARITIES THE BLADE SHAPE, THE FANCY CARVING AND HAIR ON THE POMMELS. THE MORO AND DAYAK SOCIETYS WERE BOTH GREAT SEA FARERS AND OFTEN WORKED TOGETHER AND SOMETIMES FOUGHT SO INFLUENCES WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY PICTURES IN A POST ON EDGED WEAPONS

KEEP THEM COMING
