Well there are/were Moros or Moro influence in Sabah, Borneo.

Yes Maurice, i am also surprised that there aren't more opinions on this piece. Just for comparison look at the reprousse work on the sheath of this sundang which some have also identified as Malay. To my eyes i see a similar floral design that seems quite unlike Moro okir.

Thanks for the link David.
I have seen it but had forgotten about it to check the floral design.
I indeed can see also some similarities, wo I know what you mean.
The one in the link is also a very nice and special one, with less reactions..
