Stumbled upon a mandau.

Went to my uncle and aunt’s for dinner and hanging on the wall above the piano was a mandau. He had picked it up approx 40 years ago in his travels. There is no sheath and an amethyst is missing from the handle. It also looks like a chip is missing from the handle around the remaining amethyst. I’ve taken some photos and was wondering if you all could possibly shed some light on where it might be from and possible age?. Many thanks
