Semar, great catch on a really nice and complete example of a kabeala . Can you tell me what the black portion of the hilt is made from, is it horn, lacquered cord, a hard wax mixture or something else. Having all the woven bands still in place and in good condition is always a plus. My congratulations to you on a great score and fine new addition to your collection
Detlef, Like you always tell me, keep looking and sooner or later you will find a West Sumba sword to go with the other very nice examples shown in your photo. Best, Robert |
