Default My first collection of Mandau

I just starting to like tribal swords pasrticular Dayak's sword.. although I am dayak, I dont have much of mandau.. and all authentic mandau from my ancestor goes to the oldest son, as I am not the oldest of the family thus I dont get it..

According to the costums we cannot own mondau if the length is more than our head diameter.. as this mandau wouldnt be friend for the owner. Actually there is a calculation formula, called "limebalas raja pahlawan" honestly I dont know much about this.. If I come back to my hometown I will do travel to upriver to find any legit resource about this formula..
