Lading terus or not?

ericlaude · 19th October 2009, 02:22 PM

Hello,
I brought this week end two indonesian pieces and I'm not sure what is it?
The two blades present a pamor,
the length of the first is 16,1' and the second 13,4 ovl.

If someone can lighting me on their real origin ?
Thank you for advance

They both look like tombak (spearheads) to me, so yes, lading terus would probably be a correct term. The tajong hilt seems inappropriate for this ensemble.

Hello Eric,

both are indeed Tombaks like David write and I also think that the Tajong hilt is a very recent replacement. I like special the other one, very nice pamor.
