A very good and rare example of sword from the island of Borneo or Kalimantan called the Mandau. Well carved handle is made of water buffalo horn with the base having finely weaved rattan bindings and a Dutch era coin with Jawi and Sanskrit writings indicating a two and half cent coin value.
Carved wooden sheath is binded with finely woven rattan panels. A side tool called the pisau rauk is attached at the back and is usually use as a shredding tool.

Very sturdy single edge blade has the typical Mandau features with a concave and convex surface and doted brass inlays at the top.

Pamor patterns are using non contrasting metals and forged in the mlumah technique arranged in the wos utah or scattered rice variations.

Length of blade: 19.5"
Overall length: 25.5"
Condition: Very good condition.
Age: Krises are traditionally made without any date stampings or engravings of the makers’ name. Although a kris smith or “empu” has his own styles configured together with the dapor and especially the ganjar (cross piece). Obvious age wear and tear, usage, familiarity with forms, motifs and designs, origin and history, mediums and materials used are our guidelines in determining an approximate age. This particular piece, from our experience and knowledge, should go back to the late 19th century.
