mandau number 2

This is the other mandau (see my other thread).
The handle is made of wood and quite simple. The blade is convex on the outside and hollow ground on the inside. When you look over the back, the blade bends slightly to the right. The grinding is quite coarse.
The sheath has a skin holder on the back containing a knife and two arrows. One of the arrows still has a nicely forged tip. The small blade is decorated and, like the handle of the mandau, provided with a tuft of braided hair. Also included is a beautiful old chain.
Does anyone have any idea what the age of this and the other mandau is? Thank you for the effort!
