Default Malay/Indonesian What's it

Don't know what this one may be. Possibly a tool. It has a light, wide, hand-forged blade which is sharpened on the convex end, and may have once been sharpened on the lower edge (as shown in the picture). The handle is hollow horn. The ferrule may be tin plate or aluminum.

Any ideas what this was used for.

OAL = 16 3/4 inches. Blade length = 8 inches.

Ian.


Malay/Indonesian (?)
