My Parang Ilang ( Tungul ) collection

Hi Agan,

Very nice collection from different tribes, thanks for sharing.
I haven't seen that many Kelabit Parang Ilang but if I remember correctly the hilts with the "nose" turning upwards are Kelabit, aren't they?
I have also read somewhere that Kelabit is the only tribe that sometimes use buffalo horn for the hilts of their Ilang/Tulung?
Is that correct?
