It's a bit small. It doesn't have a long slender blade like a Parang Ginah. Agricultural tool? Help!!

Dimensions OAL 12.25", Hilt 5.25", widest part of blade 2", thickest part of blade 0.125".

File marks on blade. Letters "HM" or "WH", stamped on the blade. There is a nail that goes thru the hilt, possibly to secure the blade. Hilt is carved out of horn, Carabao to my guess. Eyes of bone.

Some form of clurit I would think.

It's an agricultural sickle from West Java that of course could be used as a weapon too.
The cool demonhead is sometimes also found on goloks from the same area.
