Description from the seller

A Sword from the island of Java, small but elegant in workmanship. Both the hilt and the mouth of the sheath are made of dark bovine horn. There are slight cracks due to the age and dehydration of the material. All fittings are silver with floral decorations typical of the local culture. Some bands are damaged but everything is solid and there is no movement between the wood and the metal. Thin blade, laminated, with slight forging flaws. Length of the sword out of the sheath: 60 cm.
