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 decoration, as is seen here on our example, the ferule is made of bone and the nice brass decorations are really thin due to its age, and on some parts are damaged.

One of the finer examples of a sumatran pedang with typical shape, bone ferule and decorated with brass elements. A true beautiful example 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.

Although this piece shows signs of use it has fantastic rich decoration. The honey-colored patina, which indicates its considerable age, combined with its elegant design, make it an ethnographic object of great interest.

Il pezzo preso è una chicca, mi è piacito. Non sono rimasto soddisfatto del pacco fatto, ho trovato pochezza nell'imballaggio, poco sigillato e poco riparato il pezzo all'interno.

het item is alles behalve wat de verkoper aangeeft in de beschrijving,, beschadigt en breuk gelijmd, geen pamor, slechte passing en samengesteld dus niet origineel. Ben erg ontevreden.!!

Seller's response

Klant reclameerde buiten de gestelde termijn en de argumenten die hij aanhaalt zijn niet valide en sommige daarvan waren duidelijk waarneembaar op foto's. Jammer dit!

Stuk van mooie oude Balinese tempeldeur is prima verpakt in zeer goede staat aangekomen.

Si tratta di un artefatto meraviglioso, che e' rarissimo trovare in queste condizioni di perfetta conservazione. Sono in commercio solo statuette rimaste esposte alla pioggia e corrose.
