very old type mandau

[Dajak]

Hi Arjan small handle only says wich area because in the north Borneo part
the old handle s much bigger the leiden museum has not much from the north Borneo area in their collection because the part belongs to the Radja Brooke
And England and the Dutch where not really friends in that time.
And also metal below the handle also for the area they from not time.
But it is an very nice old mandau also good carved scabbard hard to find .

I will show later a picture when hair still is attached to the skin .
