Iconography may be helpful and often decisive for dating and attribution of material objects, but just as often it may be horrendously misleading.

The style of this painting is incompatible with 16 century, especially taking into account the locality.

This is at the earliest end of 19 century, more likely 20th. The artist could have used whatever sword he had in his studio.

Even Rembrandt "blinded" his Samson with a Balinese kris.
