I've had several of Suwandi's swords hidden through the whole house before I was collecting antiques, ready for use when burglars would enter my house...
Now I have mandaus to chop their heads... ;-) |

Hullo again everybody!
Gene, what you have there is a type of sickle I would refer to as a more common form of Koedjang Bikang Lolong or simply as Arit ( I believe the Oerang Kanekes would refer to it simply as a koedjang). It also looks recent, no older than around 1950s. The handle is what is now commonly known by the Soenda as Perah Sirah Tjepot. Best, Last edited by Amuk Murugul; 12th June 2011 at 12:57 AM. |

HI Amuk, Excellent, always nice to know an items name, thank you. May I ask what purpose they serve? Your dating is actually good news, as it fits with what I was told when I bought these pieces. The later ones were indicated as having been collected circa 1950. The only evidence I have for this is a dated Golok (one of about ten goloks and knives all of very similar style and obvious age in the collection, but the only one that I bought).... I'll start a thread for it, as I need a translation  Thanks again Gene |
