As for the monetary system. an interesting book is :

Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo

By Eric Hanssen

Het crossed the Island by foot in the early 80's and in that time such a journey still depended on trade items, rather than money.

Here some pictures of my mandau which I think qualifies as mantikei.

Hi Willem,

Sorry, forget you as a person who knows also well about mandaus!

And thank you for providing the word "mantikei" for laminated mandaus, I searched for nothing in my memories for this word!

PS: I see a little bit of rust at the tip of the blade from your nice mantikei mandau you should care about!

Regards,
Detlef
