A good early Malay sword generally known as a 'Parang Nabur', although it is clear this name is probably the result of a confusion with the North Borneo Dyak sword 'Niabor'. The hilt carved of wood with typical shaped ribbed grip, tilted pommel, brass pierced lower ferrule, and an elaborately shaped and pierced handguard. The blade beautifully shaped of good steel, single edged with the back edge also sharpened. Complete with original scabbard of wood banded with brass flattened rings. The scabbard and the hilt are decorated with red and black paint which is frequently found on these early examples. This example has good age, dating to the 19th century, probably the first half. One band missing to scabbard. Southern Borneo, Banjarmassin.
