It does seem that it is an attempt at a Balinese style blade, but not done with much skill. The handle is poorly carved, but i am not convinced this is a "fantasy product". I have seen this same figure before. This one is just a very poor depiction. This was probably made within the last 20 years or so. Last edited by David; 21st April 2022 at 11:00 PM.
