Yes David, sorry , all the mesurement are in inches.

Did you buy them recently from Malaysia / Indonesia ?

Imho, this is for those who travel.

Although the decorated pieces with antler and hair may still be used for ceremonial purposes and/or gifts.

Try the seach function and check out mandau / jimpul / langgai tinggang threads. There are quite a few to be found.

I agree with Willem!

Thank you for the strange mandau expertise, but the last question for me is: the first piece is a niabor or langgai tinggang?

asomotif · 16th December 2009, 11:51 AM

I would say langgai tinggang.

What do you find so strange about it Eric?

Not strange David, I have what I would , opinions for the decorated mandau and an identification for the Langgai or niabor.
The item who are not strange for you can be strange for me.
