It has a typical short heavy blade, more of a short machete or an axe rather than a sword, mounted straight on a brass haft that usually conceal a sharp dagger blade in its rear end. The one we offer for sale here has a 6 inches wide blade, The haft is finely chiseled and gilded brass, 15 inches long, ending with the classical elephant head figure holding the blade. The rear end conceals an 7 inches dagger. This item comes with its original fabric covered scabbard with two finely chiseled and gilded mounts. Total length 21 inches. Very fine chiseling work on both the haft and the scabbard mounts.
