Newsteel sums it well.
Lovely Palembang, Sumatra piece... cute but deadly. A few friends have similar pieces... ganja iras too... most appropriate is the palembang topeng hilt form. More of a sepokal or sapukal blade form.

But then again, sometimes it's difficult to tell them apart without its fittings.

Hi Ganja, very nice piece!! Does it have a methuk (like jalak budo) rather than a mendak??

Lemmy, when i lightened the pic in photoshop it looked to be a separate piece so i would imagine it is a mendak, which would be much more appropriate in this case anyway. But i am sure Ganja can tell us more accurately.
