Description: A mandau, the traditional sword of the Dayak people of Borneo. It has a very good quality blade, 23" long. Overall length, including hilt and sheath, is 30". Condition is very good, sword and sheath, with scratch carving of traditional motifs on both hilt and sheath, feather decoration at the extremes of the hilt, and cane and sennit wrapping holding it all together. There is a tight vertical crack in the hilt. The sheath for the secondary knife is still attached, not a common event, but with the knife missing. The furniture is much more elaborate and appealing than most.
