Hi!
This really interesting 19th century tenegre with a deity hilt was just auctioned. I didn't get it and hope someone in the group did. I would be interested in what people think of it - in particular, the significance of the triangle which looks like it originally had a stone in the center (pearl?). Also, the spanish coin from 1885 on the scabbard. I was tempted to think the triangle may be Katipunan-influenced (or indicate the sword belonged to a Katipunan member), but am not sure. If so, then having a Spanish coin with the profile of the king is confusing. Or maybe these are just decorations and not necessarily symbolic? Any thoughts? Am posting some pictures from the auction site. |

Lovely piece. Rare to see silver bands on these scabbards.
Yes I moan with Sajen: How did I miss this one? ![]() |
