To my eyes it look like a more recent mandau, not for tourists but maybe for dance or a working tool.

Hi Detlef,
Thank you for your comment ,My guess was the first half of 20th century but not later. I would like to know if this one could be classified as an Ambang . Best Cerjak |

pictures can cheat but my guess would have been mid to end of the 20th century. My guess is based by the lack of patina, the not deep carving at the scabbard and the blade quality. But I am far away from an expert for mandaus, so I am also not able to tell you if it's an ambang but it is good possible like I've mentioned in my previous post. Best regards, Detlef |
