Another Cross-Cultural Islamic Blade: An Indonesian Parang with a Persian Blade

The cartouche style is Persian, but I am not sure if it is in Farsi(using Arabic letters) or pure Arabic. The blade style is typically Persian, and would, of course, have been much longer in its original form.

It would have been somewhat similar to this, though minus one fuller and I think mine may be a bit older.
