Peurawot from Aceh

Just adding an old picture from another thread

Here some examples from my collection, finally.

Most are clearly status pieces while the last one appears to be a multipurpose tool rather than a specialised carving knife; note the similarity with Michael's larger example at the start of the thread (both blades not displaying the typical peurawot blade shape).

Regards,
Kai

Here 2 more examples which seem to be related; arguably not peurawot in a strict sense but different piso types from Aceh: The first again a general purpose tool somewhat similar to the 2 larger examples discussed above and a status piso with Akar Bahar hilt (note blade profile and differently carved scabbard).

Regards,
Kai

Some beautiful items you have there Kai.
Good to see that your camera is working finally. :-)

Here two that went through my fingers.
One has a hilt made of akar bahar and suassa, which has a length of 32 cm (in the scabbard).
The other one has no scabbard, a hippopotamus / suassa hilt, and has a length of 27 cm.

Kind regards,
Maurice

Wonderful pieces. I love the akar bahar and then the contrast between the ivory and the suassa!

Some very nice ones from you both! Will post pictures of my example soon as I have it in my hands.

No worries, Willem, this currently is my whole peurawot line-up.

I meant adding some more examples to this thread though...

BTW, I especially like the scabbard of yours, too!

Adding my humble example to this great reference thread.

Hello,

I finally managed to get my first Piso Peurawot.

Hello Séverin,

Very nice example! Let me know...

How long is it in total and the blade only?

I especially like the carving and hope someone can decipher the scripture.

Regards,
Kai
