Question about a symbol on Mandau

On the left is the sheath of a mandau and on the right a part of a Pisau Raut. Both from Kalimantan (Dayaks).

question about a Jimpul handle

This is the handle of a Jimpul. The design is different from what you would expect. I can't place the motifs on the handle either. Can someone tell me more about the motifs on this handle?

I don't know if the mandau was made at the same time as the Pisau. I read that in many cases the sword was handed in/sold without the pisau, which they kept for their own use.

Could be but usually put with it then in the fat or oil. I personally think it was done in Borneo itself. If you are a european collector why would you blacken that mandau when e.g. the handle is...

Hi Kai,
Your explanation got me thinking and I scratched a tiny bit off the back of the sword. Indeed, "bare steel" emerged. Then wonder why Dayaks want to blacken the steel. At least it didn't...

Is this a Langgai Tinggang

I bought this sword in Sibu (Sarawak) in 1982
I doubt it's a Langgai Tinggang because the "Krowit" looks different from the standard Krowits from the LT I've been looking at. In addition, the groove...
