South Indian Sword

Jose -- looks like brass and steel to me.

Ian -- thanks for the info on the Nair. Fascinating!

The south Indian culture particularly interests me. Here are some of the Theyyam.

the sword in my picture is silver with sliver plated brass sideplates. It is not sharp.

I also have a small shield and a breastplate like in the other pictures. I very much hope to be able to travel there and see these fabulous dancers sometime.
