Piso Batak
Thanks very much. That it might be Batak was in the back of my head and was my first impression until I saw the other thread.
Superficially, the shape and carvings resemble the Batak Piso Gaja Dompak with the exception that no elephant is depicted on the hilt. So I suspected it was in that style, but of far lesser prestige than the kingly Piso Gaja Dompak. Links below are to original; Google translate is a big help  Wikipedia article Piso Gaja Dompak as royal pusaka Comments? Any notions of age? |

Hello Dave,
It's a Toba Batak knife, see this threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=toba+batak http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=toba+batak http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=toba+batak This one seems to have some age, please show pictures when you have cleaned the blade. Regards, Detlef |
