Vandoo, beautiful piece and thank you for posting it!

I can’t help coming back on a previous thread about bronze knives from the Paiwan ethnic group in Taiwan. Their ritual bronze knives have been linked to the Dong Song culture -- Dong Son ( Dongson, Dongsong, Dong Song…) Culture of Vietnam is also called/written Dongshan in Taiwan.

The Paiwan ritual knives shown in this older thread are said to have originated with the Dongshan/Dong Song/Dongson culture. I find the similarities striking between these Paiwan ritual knives and the one you show here.
