This is our latest toy, a Barong sword with unusual carved handle:

Artzi,
To hell with the carving, just good to hear from you! |
What Ariel said!
Comparing this with Fig.62 in Cato's Moro Swords I come to the conclusion that it's a variation on the Naga motif . A very nice acquisition ; congratulations !! |
I just saw this on your site (grumble, grumble, envy, envy :mad: ). Nice piece, I would guess middle of 19thc especially due to the carving.
|
Verrry nice
Agree with Rick. A rare Naga variant hilt on a blade that shows a lot of lamination with a pretty etch. Lovely piece. Thanks for showing us this one Artzi.
When you think about moving this one on, well ... you know ... call ... Ian. |
Another lovely piece Artzi, congratulations!
I hope you publish your collection one day. Spiral |
Sulu in origin judging from the punto .
|
Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
