Overall length 56,8 cm, 5,8 cm wide, weight - 870 gr.
The motiv of ivory carving looks quite Chinese. |

Indeed, they were best of the carvers... I've bounced this question off a few of our learned community... there are other Barong and Kris hulu with similar motifs in the BM too, I believe at least one is clearly Chinese in design too, may be noted as being Chinese made too... there is a Sadap hilt in the marketplace too, seems much like the same community of carvers...
