Borneo 19th Century Dyak Mandau Head Hunter's Sword

Item Details

Description

The mandau headhunter's sword (parang thlang) comprised of carved wood scabbard bound with woven rattan and wrapped leather and stands of beads with teeth.
The mandau is the traditional weapon of the Dayak of Kalimantan, Indonesia. In the past, the majority of the native people living in the island of Kalimantan, the Dayak, were animists in belief. Perhaps the most striking is their ancient tradition of headhunting practices. And it is also precisely for this purpose that the Dayak used the mandau.
Length: 24 inches.
Blade length: 24 inches
Weight: 2 lbs.
