An unusal (?) sword from Sumba

5 Attachment(s)

Here is another of my swords that I have difficulty in labeling.
This one I found on Sumba.
Is it a sword or a spear with handle?

Keris ?

Thanks Rivkin but IRL (sorry about the bad pictures) it doesn't resemble or feel like a keris.
It's quite large also and I never saw anything else looking like a keris on Sumba. Only Kabealas in different sizes. I doublechecked in Zonnefeld and Draeger but they don't mention keris on Sumba?
