Square Line pattern Ilang
First time I saw this Parang was at a Danish auction house over 4 years ago.
I was in company with the late Karsten Sejr Jensen but none of us bid on it because a Danish Borneo collector friend of us wanted it and it as the only mandau at the auction. And there were several nice keris, kris and other goodies for us so... But last month I managed to get it so here it is. I think it's from NW Borneo but open for other suggestions?
