This is a tombak, my girlfriend's to tell the truth. The only thing I know is that it was made only for women and it is for protection.

Could you please give me any help?

Originally it was a spear head that was later taken off to be used either as a talisman or personal dagger for protection, regardless of gender.

Dear Battara

thank you for your answer.

Yes, I know what a Tombak is, but this specific one is made only for women. I didn't make a description well maybe. I meant that it is for protection, but it's power is for women only. The empu made it for a woman. And this come from a very reliable source.

Anyway, thanks again

Dear Battara

I didn't want to offend you. Sorry if it seemed that way, but my English aren't good for me to express corectly the meaning of my post.

In any case, sorry
