Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum.

This is an example of what is generically refered to as a Burmese "Temple Dha". (There is Burmese "bubble" script inlaid on the blade). These vary greatly in quality, with most being purely display or ceremonial items. Yours is typical of that type.

The forum rules prohibit appraisals, but I can advise you these are very common, and usually not particularly expensive.

Best regards,
Andrew
