Silver Jimpul with bone handle and human hair
 

Well it is a little small. The figure is about 15.5 cm (six inches) high. But I think, from the shape of the end of the blade, it is my first Jimpul. :D ;)

Can't tell if the blade is flat or whatever. :rolleyes: The Shield is not for sale. Don't even ask. Not mine anyway. :(

Opinions???? :shrug: ;)

Wonder if I will get more views than responses????? :eek:

A very nice one

Ben

What an excellent statue any ideas how old it is ?

Bill I saw that one last week and thought of you lol :D . I would guess 1930-40 as far as age goes. It looks like an art deco period bronze.

Lew

Just happened upon it with one minute and 40 seconds to go! Still got into a bid and counterbid with someone.

Will ask Arjan if he knows how old, but suspect that Lew is right. Deco period 1930's or so.

Great statue Bill! I wonder will if you have the hair sent for DNA analyisis though ? :D

Spiral

WOW Great statue, that must be from a very good dealer! :D :D :D

did my email reached you that I accepted your offer?

Arjan.

Very nice Bill. :cool:
It looks like he once held something in his other hand as well.

I sure think so.

Now, do I get free shipping? :D :D :eek: :D

Hello Bill,

This jimpul looks like it has been made for ritual use. :D

I wonder when a miniture shield or miniature bundel of skulls will be listed :rolleyes:

Best regards,
Willem

here another with a suberb inlayed blade,
the blade has very nice scrollwork (and a repair) the scabbard has also the same knots as a "real" one.

(aviable at www.thehornbill.com)

Very nice Arjan, does it have a flat or convex blade? How are the crowits?

That sure is a nice Batak sword you have there. I see it is sold. Must be some lucky new owner!

Warmest grins, I mean Regards!

Bill :D ;) ;)

Hi Bill,

the blade is convex, no crowits,its a Kayan style blade.

Arjan.
