Excellent.

Lovely Murut Pakayuns.
I have a question. Why is the pakayun's hilt shaped with the 2 points?
What is the significant of the design?

Opps! That's 2 questions...

Damn, Shahrial, that was going to be my question(s) as well.

DOES anyone know?

It is because with the 3 points it was to big to hold in the Hand

The problem whit this there is very little writing on this weapon

Shelford did tell about this in an artikel that was presented in 1901 that the shape off the handle maybe compared whit the Y schaped handle off stag horn of the Mahakkam river parang ilang

I also look when anyone has a book off this subject let me know.

I think first style was like my avater than came
the fork style just because more easy to make.

(but don t now it for sure there is also another style off handle used by the Muruts)
