I am not expert in this field, however, using Sellato as my reference I believe the hilt can be attributed to Kenyah origin.

I am no expert but i have been wandering around in Borneo in the last 20 years, been in the remote areas from West to East Kalimantan for ecological-anthropological research and environmental programs. For me the second mandau bit off, it seems the carving on the hilt is different origin from the carving on the sheath. |

I sheathed the Mandau-1, the color and hair design matched 100%, here is the result: |
