Rob, Jawa and Sumatran courts have shared much in common in the making of weapons for some time and the keris from the Palembang court took it's cues from Javanese styles. IMO this makara is very Sumatran in form. I would be willing to bet that is this pedang's source.
Sure Rick, i remember the discussion, but do you haqve any reason to suspect this one isn't made from horn.
