This a Sumatran parang that marries a somewhat unique hilt and blade combo. The hilt is akin to hulu iku ite (Thanks VVV!!!.....note Zonneveld plate #133), and is nicely detailed. The blade appears very old.

The scabbard is rather plain except for horn mouth and chape, with horn binding rings as well.
