This huge Ram-Dao is a sacrificial sword from Nepal. It is meant to behead the sacrificed animal in one sword blow, and this is exactly how the blade is designed: Heavy (almost five pounds), 26 inches long, down curving blade with a massive two handed handle. The blade is decorated with geometrical engraving and inlaid with brass decoration just below the spine and on the back. The famous guarding eye is engraved and set with brass at the blade tip. The grip is turned wood fitted with heavy brass mount and a brass pommel. Total length 35 inches. The blade has overall light superficial pitting and minor nicks on the edge, but otherwise in very good condition. A very rare item, by all means a prize for the serious collector. Add
