Probably the best of these I've seen both in execution of the blade and the hilt. Quite nice!

I am struck by how much the pattern of the carving resembles Burmese wood and ivory carving (southern Burmese, that is, right above the Malay peninsula is where a lot was originally done). The piece is completely different from anything Burmese, so I'm not suggesting its from there. Hopefully I can find a good photo for comparison. Stay tuned.

Beautiful!
That's a great hilt. Haven't seen them before with silver, like yours. Michael |

All right guys, you got me cleaning the hilt!
Had to see the silver cleaned.
Does anyone know what this sword is called? Best I have so far is a Batak. Don't really want to keep calling it "Mystery Sword 153!" |
