Hello. For discussion, a SE Asian Sword. I believe to be a Vietnamese Guom. While the decoration is quite a bit simpler than most I’ve seen. I'm wondering if anybody has any insight on a few features.
First, the hilt. I have not seen another example in my research that has the wire binding. I’ve seen a few examples with the simple pommel such as this. But not many. Also, the scabbard. The leather cover is unique to examples I’ve seen. I'm also curious if anyone has seen this type of decoration on the furniture? Metal inlay? What I first thought was an eagle I now think might be an interpretation of a Fenghuang. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Cheers Last edited by DhaDha; 19th September 2017 at 07:28 PM. |
