I think some folks might call this a Tilang Kamarau, but it is a little outside my collecting area to be too sure of myself. But i will say that AFAIK a Tilang Kamarau is not a type of Mandau. A mandau, or Parang Ilang, is a specific form, even if it does share the same basic hilt form as this sword does.
