What a spectacular way to start the new year. Very nice Sajen. Congrats.
Is the entire hilt ivory or just the ferrule and pommel? |

Thank you folks! The sundang was once sold by "Mytribalart", here the description from Arjan:
A Malay sundang of excellent quality. The pommel and ferrule of hippo ivory. The blade with very nice pamor and openworked detail. Original scabbard, perfect fit, tiny damage. Bought by a tobacco plantation owner on Sumatra at the end of the 19th century. Size: Total 67 cm, blade 48 cm. # Albert: I think that only the pommel and ferrule is from hippo ivory. Attached a few more pictures from Arjan. Regards, Detlef |

Very nice Malay sundang! The scabbard is Melayu. I think the pommel would be classified as danganon if this were a Moro kris. This must be an heirloom sword, which do not come on the market very often.

 And you are correct, Malay sundangs are rare and in such a quality much rarer. Regards, Detlef |
