Hi
To me the Y, horns were covered with silver sheet, it's too simple and too plain for me... But it's not my field... Kubur |

Hello Roy,
very nice Amanremu you got there!  So it's a Alas, Gayo or Karo sword. What a shame that the suassa (I think) pieces missing. Like Kubur write, it could be possible that the both horns of the hilt has been once covered with silver/suassa. Not necessary but by a piece with suassa very good possible.Regards, Detlef |

It's nice to see one of these handles that is not cracked.

Hello Rick,

  Actually, I tend to be very suspicious if there is no crack; this seems to be a genuine antique though! Regards, Kai |

Hello Detlef,

The large ones like this are probably Gayo (while well-provenanced examples from Alas remain elusive). Regards, Kai |

Hello Kubur,

(Quite susceptible to wear & tear; not all examples seem to originally had this decoration though.) Regards, Kai |
