Here is another Balinese ceremonial dagger, similar to the ones discussed in a previous post, but since that post became one primarily about nomenclature, I decided to post this one separately.
I am curious if any of the the forumites know exactly what this dagger was used for, or was it a weapon of status. This one is surely usable in every regard, with a thick heavy blade, and a very sturdy build. The 'wedung' of Java was originally used as a weapon or tool...eventually it evolved into a status symbol, and I am just wondering if these Bali types might have a similar history??
