I am not sure but this specific style with a hole under the naga head seems to be Malay/ Sumatrese, see pic. Primitive naga blades are also found in Java with a different style but some of them may not be original (naga head carved later). Regards |

Please see attached image. There seems to be Banjar, Javanese and Pattani versions of this hole motif. |
