Here is a mandau that lost some of its protrusions with the fun effect of that it now resembles a thumbs up sign.
What is also unusual with this mandau is the tumpal-motif on its back-side of the blade, which I never have seen before. Michael Last edited by VVV; 11th January 2015 at 01:19 PM. Reason: Automatic spell-correction changed mandau to "landau" |

You see this motif so often on the scabbard near the scabbard mouth. But this is indeed the first I see on a blade. Best regards, Willem |
