         <description><![CDATA[<div>Among other traditional weapons in Central Java, the Keris is one of the most well-known. Keris was once a means of self-identification. Depending on one's social status, Keris differ in shape.<br><br>Did you know that The Keris of the monarchs will be shaped differently than the Keris of the troops?

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Wow! As you can clearly see, the Condroso is shaped very differently from any other weapons in the world to date as it looks more similar to a Konde stick.<br><br>In the past, Javanese women utilised it to uphold their femininity and shield themselves from danger or&nbsp;unexpected&nbsp;events.<br><br>Other than that, this weapon, which is made of iron and has sharp edges, can be used to kill. Condroso is often only used in emergency situations. In the past, women who were designated as Telik Sandi or spies utilised this weapon.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Kudi is a sacred weapon used by a magician (Pawang) that has talismanic properties. It is a traditional weapon or cutting instrument from Java and Madura with a hooked blade. Due of the lack of iron, the oldest Kudi, like the earlier Keris Sajen, is also the smallest.<br><br>However, don't let the size fool you as it was regarded as a representation of sovereignty until the 19th century. The basic shape resembles a king fisher head like the Patani Keris hilt, however there are many variations such as Kudi Peksi with a bird's head, Kudi Wayang with a wayang figure.<br><br>Additionally, farmers use the Kujang from Sunda (west Java) to protect the crop and fertilise the soil; despite having the same sor-soran as a Kudi, the upper portion of the blade resembles a wavy Keris.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I know what it looks like and no it's not a kitchen knife!<br><br>This knife-like weapon is from Central Java. When compared to the Keris or other weapons, this weapon is not as well-known. However, individuals in ancient times employed Wedhung weapons for a variety of reasons to calm themselves.<br><br>It can also weight until 31lbs! Despite being utilised for ceremonial purposes, the heavy and thick blade can be used to cut through undergrowth, as they were intended to accomplish.<br><br>The blade has an attractive, transparent pamor. The scabbard is very finely constructed, weighty, and has the distinctive horn "belt loop" in the shape of a snake or a naga, that characterises these.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Murut were the final ethnic group in Sabah to give up headhunting. Similar to the Iban of Sarawak, Murut spiritual beliefs have traditionally placed a high value on gathering the heads of foes. For instance, a man couldn't get married until he gave the family of the chosen girl at least one head.<br><br>They travel along the rivers while living in communal longhouses that are typically located near them. Currently, the majority have converted to Christianity, with Muslims making up around a fifth of the population. They continue to practise their culture, though.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Chopsticks? Really? Well of course! The Dayak tribe is inspired and motivated to create durable weapons that can both protect them from the harsh forest life and ensure the survival of the Dayak tribe as a whole. These weapons are made in honour of the Dayak ancestors who once lived among dense forests and were home to a variety of wild animals.<br><br>The fierce environment of Borneo Island has diminished the tenacity and zeal with which "Dayak ancestors make" the common "weapons called" chopsticks.&nbsp;Ironwood is the material used to make chopsticks.&nbsp;<br><br>Chopsticks are between 1.5 and 2 cm long. The ideal diameter of a chopstick Chopsticks are made up of three basic components: chopsticks, chopsticks (damak), and chopsticks with a spear made of fine iron connected to the end.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Chopsticks that rely on this blowing power have a shooting accuracy of up to 200 metres and a "typical" effective shooting distance of 25 to 30 metres. This makes the chopstick gun deadly because at the end of the dam is spiked / smeared poison in the form of gum ipuh and a mixture of lethal animals that are said to have no antidote.&nbsp;<br><br>Stems (chopsticks), Damak (chopsticks), and sangkoh (spear eyes fashioned of or connected to the end of a chopstick pipe) are the three components that make up the standard Dayak tribal weapon. Depending on the capabilities of the clipper, an effective target can be reached from a distance of 25 to 30 metres both vertically and horizontally. Dayaks may knock down foes and good game animals on trees, such as birds and wild animals that live on land, using this weapon from a considerable distance.<br><br>Chopsticks were once frequently made as weapons of war, but with the development of technology and knowledge, they are now more frequently produced as a sports tool to clot and order.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A traditional weapon from Kalimantan's Dayak culture, the Mandau. One of Indonesia's traditional weapons is the Mandau. The blade of a Mandau contains numerous engravings with distinct symbolic meanings. Mandau derives from the Chinese word "dao," which means machete, and the word "Man," which was first used by a tribe in southern China.<br><br>Certain values are also present in Mandau. Mandau has mystical connotations, including ceremonies performed during its creation as well as Mandau employed in some traditional rituals. The community uses the mandau as a tool for farming and hunting, which is the social side. Mandau, which also embodies courage, thoroughness, and patience, is the identity of the Dayak community in Kalimantan in terms of art and culture.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Dayaks of Kalimantan utilise Mandau in a variety of ways. Mandau was employed in ancient times for both headhunting (the beheading of enemies) and combat. As battle and ngayau are now uncommon among Dayaks in Kalimantan, they are solely utilised ceremonially and decoratively.<br><br>Mandau also features a variety of buildings, like Kumpang. A Mandau scabbard is a kumpang. Kumpang is often carved, made of wood, and covered in antlers from deer. It is extended an invitation in Kumpang Mandau, which is a bond composed of woven uai (rattan).&nbsp;<br><br>In addition, a knife with penyerut and ivory wood is connected to a bag of wooden leather in kumpang since it is said that these materials have the power to repel wild creatures. The braided rattan of a mandau that is strung in kumpang is typically knotted around the waist.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Parang Nabur sword comes from Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia (other names include Belabang or Beladah, while older variations are named Pacat Gantung or Pacat Bagantung). The majority of these swords were produced in the 19th century, under the Banjarmasin Sultanate.<br><br>The Parang Nabur is a sword with a curved blade that widens at the curve before narrowing at the point.&nbsp;The back is concave and the edge is convex. From the front tip of the blade, there is a double edge for roughly 2/3 to 3/8 of the blade. At the point, either the rear or the edge may bend in that direction.</div>]]></description>

This sword is known as a Parapat among the Murut.<br><br>The Murut tribe of northern Borneo wield the Parapat, a large sabre. It is distinguished by a long, narrow blade that is the same width throughout from base to tip and ends in a point with a downward slope. The blade flats are still plain.

Typically, there is a wood carving between the two forked ends; on more elaborate versions, the carving extends past the forked pommel.&nbsp;<br><br>A brass sleeve known as the umbo covers a portion of the hilt and spreads to form a tiny guard on the blade side. The forked end is rarely reached by the brass sleeve; it typically ends a short distance away, with the remaining area being covered in plaited rattan.<br><br>The scabbard is typically constructed from two wood planks joined together with wire, rattan, or metal strips. Geometric designs are frequently used to embellish the spaces between the wrappings. A hair-decorated bark pocket is fastened to the interior side.</div>]]></description>
