BENDO FROM JAVA Early 20th cent.
 
6 Attachment(s)
From a dutch estate sale.
This bendo was brought to the Netherlands in 1953.
At the ricasso of the blade appears to be a date.
Looks like 1904, but I am not sure.

This is a textbook example of what Zonneveld calls a "bendo" in his book "traditional Weapons of the indonesian Archipelago"
Some small cracks in the handle and a large chip of wood missing of the handle.
2 Brass band missing. Otherwise a fine example of an unusual knife.
Thick blade with some scratches that will polish out easily.

These are quite rare, so I have no exact idea yet of the price. please make me an offer by PM or e-mail : rtm.whart@cma-cgm.com
