Hi David,
Allright, if you are not a "master", then sure you are a "mister" ( coach, in local soccer lexicon ) .
Resuming and according to what i have learnt here and after doing a little Net browsing, namely on glossary:
This piece has a dapur bentok ( curved ) pichit ( finger pressed ) blade.
Its dimensions and charactertistics fit into a talismanic blade.
Probable date XVII century.
Possible provenance Jawa; the hilt ( ukiran ) could be XIX century and is typical from central Jawa, right ?
You mention they are hung in special places of importance; like where ... residential places ? I have read something about hanging them in the house roof central beams; does this make sense ?
I notice that the pesi is a bit bent; this is a fault and not a deliberate situation, right ? i can easily clamp it in a padded vice and unbend it.
Is its pamor easy to tipify ?
Sorry to be such a bore.
Fernando
