Another Klewang Palembang for our Archives
This a very nice, almost certainly ceremonial, klewang Palembang(Parang Betino???) from Sumatra.
The hilt is ivory with a worked gold ferrule. The blade is beautifully forged, quite heavy, showing a laminated pattern, a reinforced (Moro shandigan style) edge, and finely chiseled bolster. The scabbard is new. Dimensions: 25in. overall, with a 18.5in. blade, and 2.5in. at its widest point. Last edited by CharlesS; 24th January 2014 at 06:25 PM. |
