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.

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.

[2] During funerals, a person is chosen to assume the role of a Papanggang (slave) whereby a man would carry a Kabeala while the woman would carry a Kahidi Yutu or Leiding knife.

[3][4] The traditional attire of a male Papanggang includes a black Kabeala, a symbol of prince.
