Items with a very similar handle are sold as a ceremonial sword of the National Police and the Army of Indonesia from 1970.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, the bird is an Indonesian

Garuda Bird / Java Eagle

It has religious and symbolic meaning, the bird itself is a protected endangered species.
