Excellent Jens!! a great example with reference to probably one of the greatest metaphors of all time, and it is true, often the pen (written words) often was far mightier than the (force) of the sword.
What an unusual item, and a very beautiful piece. I admit I never realized, or thought of, the documentation of these times using palm leaves in these regions. I guess paper is another of those things we really take for granted.
What is the script on the blade?
All the best,
Jim
