Just picked this up: nice old Palembang I think.
The scabbard needed some restoration, unfortunately there was only one half. I hope there is someone who can tell me more about it, is it an original Palembang blade? It seems to me an original composition, the pendoko looks it’s gilt silver, but the gold has almost all disappeared, leaving a faint golden tinge. The veiled durga hilt has no cracks (but was stuck very tightly) the total length of the blade is: 45cm/17.7inches, length of the pesi: 6cm/2.4inches. The little one is 24cm/9.4 inches in total, I do not know if it is a patrem, or is it talismanic? Thanks in advance for your comment, ![]() |
