the more i look at it, the more it looks like it started off as a regular barung, then instead of having a curved blade, the panday decided to go straight across...

The little stones (?) set in the handle are an interesting touch I've never seen before .

haha, yup... CZ perhaps?
nevertheless, this is the first time i've seen a barung decorated with stones as well. odd in that i understand the owner wanted to jazz up his sidepiece, but i'm perplexed as to why he used jute as ferrule... |

Probably rose-cut quartz; and possibly the jute wrap would recommend him as a serious fighter; a silver puunto would slip around quite a bit in a bloody hand .
