A fine Sumatran ‘Pedang’ which is the literal translation for ‘sword’. Often found all over Sumatra with their typical carved hilts depicting floral motifs. The Sumatran swords are known for their fine detail in silver decoration, as is seen here on our example(I am not sure what metal is used, it could be alpaca or a low grade silver). As I wasn't able to test the silver I would like to state / qualify the material as "low grade silver" One of the finer examples of a sumatran pedang with typical shape, brass guard and decorated with low grade silver. The pommel is in relief with floral motifs and foliage. A true beautiful piece of a Sumatran pedang with no restorations / repairs and fully original which is slightly worn but an interesting blade. The blade has traces of wear and surface rust and the hilt and shaft decorations are of high quality with finely decorated fittings. Dimensions: Hilt: 15 cm Blade length: 41 cm Total length: 58 cm Weight: 600 grams • The items will be carefully packaged and shipped within 1 working day with PostNL (including track & trace information) • Tracking will be updated on your Catawiki account once your package has been delivered.
