Item Description: Translate description
An impressive Indonesian saber that was clearly inspired by European examples introduced by the colonists. It is completely mounted in thick silver. The hilt with a very well articulated lion head pommel and crossguard with D-shaped knuckle bow. The spiraled work on the grip shows decor in rows of Chinese coins. At the blade side of the handle are three silver marks. The wooden scabbard is entirely covered with silver sheet. The scabbard's end has a rib like those of European sabers, and at the top is a stopper to prevent it from slipping through the belt, again inspired by European saber designs. The decoration with floral and geometric decoration in repoussé is done in purely Indonesian fashion. In the center of the scabbard is an inscription that reads: Raja Pagaruyung. It probably refers to the local ruler of Pagaruyung, a Minangkabau state in Sumatra.Full Length 31.5 Inches Blade Length 25.5 Inches
