Dayak mandau

I am far away to be an expert for mandaus but to my eyes it look like an authentic good mandau with very nice carvings at the scabbard, blade seems simple but good worked. Good that the piso raout is still present.
Hope that Willem, Maurice, Michael or Arjan jump in to tell you more about your mandau.

Regards,

Detlef

Although i'm not an expert either, something tells me that this nice worked out mandau is more recent. My guess is that this one is used for dancing purposes.

This Kenyah tribe mandau isn't very old, but looks very complete with the beautifull carvings on the scabbard, tufts of dyed goathair, ratan belt and simple blade.

Kind Regards,
Maurice
