Interesting example, Dave. Thanks for posting this.

I wonder if this had some Moro influence on it...........

Jose: Hard to say. I suppose it could also show some Indonesian influence. I think this mandau is probably either Kenyah or Kayan in origin and i don't know for sure but i think these tribes are from the central part of Borneo. These groups probably were a little more isolated from the outside world than people along coastal areas, so there might have been less outside influence. I guess we will never know for sure..........Dave.
