That seems quite unusual if you think of Borneo.
The handle might be stag I am not sure how to tell.
The blade I had not looked to be honest but now I see one side of the blade is flat where the other side is convex and maybe also a bit concave but it is only 20 cm so not a big blade like a mandau...
