Wedung for sharing
Just have won a wedung, something what was already long on my wish list. Wedungs are only worn in the courts of Central Java and it seems nearby that a blade with gold belong to a high ranking person. The german auction house stated that this piece was collected in the 30s/40s last century and coming from a german collection where it was from this date. It is 41 cm long. Will post better pictures soon as I have it in my hands.
