Mandau from Borneo maybe approx 70's

blade length 45 cms / total lenght in scabbard 62 cms excluding the hair tuft.

Very good condition. not an original headhunters piece but something that was made for ceremonial use / dancing and for selling to tourist.

Still a lot of craftmanship in this item such as the rattan knots

Hairtufts are also stil in place as they should be with a wooden peg.

Open to offers and also to swap for Indonesian weapons
