Hello Willem,

very nice and rare piece. In "Traditional Weapons Of The Indonesian Archipelago" on page 76 it's called "kudi tranchang" and in "Iron Anchestors" on page 159-161 it's called "kudi trantang" but Alan could very well be correct since all shown "kudi" have ornamentation in up of the outer curve. Equal how you would call it, it is very nice, congrats. When you ever get tired of it, you know who will be happy to give it a good home!

Regards,
Detlef
