Hello Rick & Ian,

Quote:
The pommel on the ebony(?)hilt seems reminiscent of the Lasara motif seen on Nias swords.
This figural hilt is definitely not from Nias. I do see where you are coming from. However, the carving details and ferrule as well as the blade don't vibe with Nias (nor any related cultures).


There is a Nias hilt style that seems even closer to Carlos' example than the most well known Nias sword hilt. Let me see if I can dredge up a pic for posting.

Regards,
Kai
