Hullo Cakszz !
![]() The blade has swastika motif bounded by leaf-scroll motif at the ends (common in SE-Asia). Also see: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...85&postcount=1, item #3 Best, |

The pattern in this motif is common in South East Asia, with links to both Hindu and Buddhist culture.It is an endless swastika pattern, a solar symbol intended to provide good luck and protection.

Hello Cakszz,
Quote:
Have you tested the inlay for silver? I'm wondering if it might be some other alloy. Just curious of its provenance: Did you acquire this locally or from Kalimantan Barat? Regards, Kai |
