    "description": "This sword has a broad, leaf-shaped blade characteristic of the Sulu Archipelago. Its profile suggests it was used for powerful cut-and-slash fighting. The hilt terminates in an exceptionally long ivory cockatoo (<em>kakatua</em>) pommel, carved with delicate <em>okir </em>scrollwork. This was an object of authority, status, and ceremonial presence within Tausug culture, probably owned by a member of the <em>datu</em> ruling class.",
