Kabeala (sometimes Kabela, Kabeàla or Kabiala; which means "Parang" or "Golok" in East Sumba language) is a traditional weapon[1] originating from East Sumba, Indonesia.
Description
The Kabeala has a straight-backed blade with a somewhat convex edge. The blade broadens slightly towards the tip. Its back curves towards the edge at the tip. The hilt is solid, curving halfway at an angle of 45 degrees. The scabbard is straight and has a large number of woven strips to keep both parts together. Its mouth has a slanting protrusion towards the blade's sharp side.[2]
