The dapur of the tombak is a variation of Banyak Angrem or Panggang Lele. These are some of the artistic tombak form. Most of these tombak are found in the Pajajaran period. (I'm not implying that this is a pajajaran piece, but merely when many of these were produced ).

Due to it impractical form for combat, it is not meant to be used as a weapon, but rather prized for its talismanic properties and as a pusaka.
