A NICE START TO A DAYAK COLLECTION

IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD WORKING EXAMPLE MADE FOR THE LOCALS NOT FOR TOURISTS. SARAWAK IS A GOOD POSIBILITY AS MOST TRADE GOES THRU KUCHING AND HAS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. PARANG ILANG OR MANDAU WOULD MOST LIKELY APPLY TO YOUR EXAMPLE. THAT HAS BEEN THE TWO NAMES I HAVE CALLED EVERYTHING FOR YEARS BUT HAVE LEARNED ON THE FORUM FROM THOSE WHO SPECIALIZE IN COLLECTING DAYAK THERE ARE MANY MORE FORMS AND NAMES.
A GOOD CLOSE UP OF THE HANDLE CARVING AND WRAPPED GRIP WILL HELP THOSE WITH THE KNOWLEGE TO HELP THEM GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION AND APPROX AGE.

Nice start of a collection.

Simple, but used and original.

Check this thread for more details on this style and origin.
