Sorry, attached the same picture twice. The second one is attached here (with the lower tier, under the half blue half green one, all green, not half and half)

Hi Joe!

I can't help you with your question, sorry, but I simply have to express my adoration for the beautiful enamel work! I think I've read that it's supposed to represent shoots of bamboo, but I can't remember where right now. Is that true?

Why it it only on some of the swords - do you know? Does it signify status or is it simply decoration and a matter of the size of the owner's wallet, so to speak?

I love sikin's! Well actually I find the straight panjang a little boring, but the curved peudeung so get's me buzzing. -With a big, carved [i]hulu pesangang{/i] and an ivory throat on the scabbard - YES PLEASE!!

Can we see the rest of the sword, pretty please?

/Cheers, - Thor

Hello Loedjoe,

That is a nice variation in enamel you have there.
I would love to see the rest of the sikins. (+scabbards ?)

Here is another thread that already digs into the variations.

As for the enamel, I think that the variation in enamel is just a variation. Freedom of the artist who made it.

Best regards,
Willem
