Ivory Silver Swassa Barong

Greetings folks!

I just got this piece from Ashokaarts. The pommel is junggayan ivory with cord wrapping beneath. The punto sleeve is made of silver with a swaasa bottom. No laminations that I can see (etched). A smaller piece, but nice one.

Enjoy

Hello Jose, Yes a VERY nice one indeed!! Congratulations. Did it come with a scabbard? If not I can't wait to see the one you will probably make for it.

You've etched it already?? I'm surprised to hear that it's lacking a laminated blade. The hilt points it to an older piece.
What are the dimensions??

It's definitely a beauty....Big UP to you Jose!!!!
