Hi Ian,
thank you for confirming. Can you give the thickness of the blade near the handle?

See the pictures taken from old threads which show other, sometimes unusual, makara styles from different origin. I think that the handle in very up is recarved, can you show a close-up from this area?[/QUOTE]

Yes, I am sure it's Indonesian, from Lombok I think.
