Another one that has been lurking in a drawer for years.
The seller claimed it was Cambodian.
The nearest blade shape that I can think of is a Wedung. The scabbard is old but probably a replacement as it does not look as old as dagger.
The hilt is bone. I can identify Bhudda and Ganesha in the carvings but not any of the others.
Any suggestions as to a name and origin would be welcome.
Regards
Royston
