<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 873281, member: 37"]Any other ideas? Have searched and searched on this one. I am open to the idea that this is not cultural but have had no luck looking in that direction either. The paint on one side only is puzzling. This appears to be old and used based on the hand grip. Handle fits my hand very well and there is a carved thumb rest at the top that can't be seen in the photo. Has worm holes in the wood. Not much wear to the blade itself. This is why I thought maybe some kind of ceremonial weapon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
