Very Fine Sewar Knife Sumatra Indonesia - 11056
One of the best we have seen. This mid 19 C. Sewar dagger / knife is coming from central Sumatra. The blade is 10 inches long and the bolster is silver. The handle as well as the scabbard locket and chape are beautifully carved from Hippo tusk which is characterized by two sectors separated by a doted line (indicated by the blue arrows).The scabbard s wood bound with silver bands Total length in scabbard 14 inches. Very good condition. The cracks on the handle are age development of the separation lines but the handle holds very solid. A fine piece of high quality. As best as it can get. |
