ID HELP / S.E asian / Indonesian sword ?

Hi Asomotif,
Quote: "The blade is forged in one piece together with the hilt."
Now I know that I've seen this sword before but for the life of me I still cannot remember where.

The description was "parang with long heavy straight blade ending with a rounded tip, blade and hilt forged in one piece." The end of the hilt was a little more elaborately carved in the shape of an unopened flower bud than the one you show but other than that it was exactly the same. I'm looking through everything I have trying to locate it again. I'm just hoping that it wasn't something I saw while searching online and didn't tag for later reference.
