Default Kabeala for share

Hello,

want to show you my new kabeala which I bring with from Indonesia. Since I have had already two before but sold them I am happy to have this one now.
Handle is from whale bone and it is 65 cm inside the sheath, blade alone is 46 cm.
Comments special to a supposed age of the sword are very welcome.

Regards,

Detlef
