Hello,
Would enjoy all input and insights on this interesting piece. Provenance dates this piece to the early 20th century. The Tboli hilt is beautifully done, with great detail and a bold, gold coloration. On the sword, much of the guard has been removed, there is a small repair on the upper portion of the fully waved blade. It’s very sharp and shows lovely pattern welding. Not sure what to make of the triangular piece attached to the blade - a similar piece is on both sides. Since the guard is basically removed, I’m assuming it was converted and owned by a Tboli. Thank you in advance for your comments. |
