Congratulations Detlef! I actually considered this one, but didn't have the money and the blade gave me some pause.
Still a nice piece! Am I correct in assuming that solid bronze hilts like this are older? (and by the way, as mentioned years ago, I prefer "Dha Freaks" over "Dafia" ![]() |

Very nice Daab Lao, Sajen. Love to see pictures of the entire sword (Blade and handle) out of scabbard as the sellers pictures are just section of the blade, handle and scabbard.
I would agree extreme caution should be taken when looking at such statues....the whole statue, from the face, dress and swords are 20th century artists interpretations of 14th & 16 century kings....though they may pull from historical artifacts usually these are more recent 19th & 20th century examples. Thanks for highlighting the Lao Laan Xaang Kingdom, Sajen. Laos has a very interesting and beautiful culture that is often overshadowed by it's neighbors. Thanks for sharing ![]() Last edited by Nathaniel; 1st February 2015 at 06:00 AM. |
