I have seen similar on another Borneo piece too but I guess there was a lot of similar cultural cross overs in times past.

Absolutely true....therefore I think these decorations are very interesting.
These decorations could be occurring more often on amanremu's, but I handled to less to tell.
Maybe somebody else on the forum had seen these kind of decorations at the side of the blade on Sumatran pieces??

In the Fischer Catalogue of the Leiden Atjeh collection there is also a drawing of an identical type of decoration that is found on several items in that collection. Will try to make a picture later.
