Java or Bali pedang?

Sajen · Yesterday, 12:11 PM

I just won the pedang in the pictures, it's described as pedang from Java, after 1900, 68 cm long inside scabbard, blade 53 cm. Handle should be from wood but I guess that it's horn.

I doubt that it's Javanese and think that it's Balinese but like always I can be completely wrong.

What do you think?

Congrats! I don't have an answer for you, but I like this colorful pedang and was watching that lot for a while.

I agree with Balinese, though the blade throws me a little.
