				 |  Nice Sundanese Parang/Golok for comments 
			
			Hello, I recently caught that pretty short parang that I suppose came from northwestern Java. The blade is not very sharp and is entirely covered with floral engravings. At the base of the blade is the date "1236" = 1820-1821 in the Gregorian calendar. The handle is made of horn and the light wooden fretted with rattan (?) With the horn fountain entrance. Overall length: 60cm The blade measures: 45cm x 3cm x 12mm (at the base, then 5mm on the majority of the length). I suppose it is a weapon of prestige that was not meant to serve in battle because it is short and not very sharp. |
