What you have here is a very cool khanda hilted ritual/temple/sacrificial sword most likely from Southern India. While its usefulness for sacrifices is questionable at best (although I could see the in-curve in the middle of the blade to be well suited for cattle decapitation) , these kind of swords are quite scarse and thus are always desirable. A unique and beutiful piece!
