This is a nice Minang pc that I have, The minangs are found in both Sumatra & the state of Negri Sembilan in Peninsula M'sia. Where this originated from in uncertain to me.

The blade is of the Malay Alang form. It comes in a few variety, and this particular form is known as the Bahari due to its size which is slightly longer then the Anak Alang form. The blade is interesting as it has been tampered with along only one side of the blade. The blade also has silverish crystaline structure along the ganja and base of the blade.

The hilt is of ivory, the hilt cup is silver and the pendok covering the stem is of silver and all with fine ukirans. The base of the stem has a gold wash to its silver vase. The crosspiece of the sheath is of horn.

All comments wld be appreciated
