Hello Willem,
My initial reply was merely to nudge you in a direction for research. However, I see that you still haven't classified your item yet. O.K., I'll play the name game. IMVHO, it is a member of the TJELOERIT family called PELONG. The angle of the blade makes it a TJOELANGONG variant. Thus, your implement is a c.18thC-19thC Pelong Tjoelangong from Madoera (allowing for differences in spelling/pronunciation/dialect etc.). That's my final input. Hope it helps. mvg. P.S. This item was a favourite in CAROK (duel) and banned by the Dutch in the mid 19thC; also by the Indos in mid 20thC |
