A Very Interesting and Artistic Piso Podang

A very unusual and nice find!
Both the hilt AND that the blade has pamor is very unusual.
However, I don't think it is a piso podang but a chenangkas, because the blade is straight.
Could it be Javanese (which I haven't seen before)?

Love the chasing and casting work on that silver hilt.

Yes VVV, you are right, more correctly this should be called a chenangkas. I was simply using the hilt form to categorize it. Javanese???....when we are talking about such an oddball...who knows??!! It is certainly possible.
