The pics look far too schematic to recognize as representations of real swords. Where is it from?
Also, I never heard the name.

hi ariel,

The otta is not a sword, it is completely made out of wood. It’s a very interesting weapon in that it is used in kalari to strike the marma points on the body. In the Indian martial art kalari it is the highest weapon.
