I'm the current owner of the diminutive Barung. My suspicions of this being a child's Barung were confirmed when I wrapped my hand around the hilt and felt the circumference. It's nicely made with a patterned blade and dual colored metal ferrule and rings.
Photos of it post cleaning and with an adult sized Barung for size comparison. |

  Congratulations! Happy to know that it is in good hands now! Very nice pattern on the blade! What are the metal from the upper rings? The ferrule seems to be silver but can't determine the ring material. Beautiful addition to your collection. When you one day will bore it; you know who you can inform! Regards, Detlef |

The rings are more coppery color in the photos, they have a pinkish hue so I'm thinking that they are coin silver. You're welcome Battara. |
