Batak or Dayak Knife?

Hi,

Is this familiar to anyone?

Perhaps for baby hair cutting or ceremonial?

Cheers.

Hello Oraiff,

It's Batak! Not sure about the age!?

Regards,

Only akin Batak style - most likely not for genuine use within the culture.

These pieces usually got made for sale to outsiders in a colonial setting.

Regards,
Kai
