Hi Iliad, nice Balinese piece!! The hilt looks to be Nawa Sari holding a sheaf of rice behind his head, the dapur I've seen before described as "Suropati", not much, but hope it helps.

I agree that this is an old Bali blade. It is nothing extraordinary, but it certainly isn't the "tourist" blade you original thought it to be. It would be nice to get it properly cleaned and stained as i can see that there is definitely a pamor pattern hiding there.
