sipakatuo, I like the wood your spear tip sheath is made from too, maybe burl wood but not sure what tree it comes from. The sheath on my tombak is not as sophisticated, I think its fairly recent.

Default More Korowelang

Dear Pusaka,

This is more korowelang. Of course this is not "Kiai Konang" like Pakana (or Sipakatuo?) just said. If I'm not mistaken, there are at least two kinds of korowelang dhapur. The other one is not slim like this, like normal tombak but with the same luks of 13 too... (please correct my mistake, if I was wrong..)

ganjawulung,

Nice tombak and the wood from which the sheath is made also looks good.

I cant answer your question because I dont have much knowledge of tombak. Actually I dont really collect tombak. I have seen wider tombak with 13 luk also but not sure if it would be called Koro welang.

Default Another Korowelang

Dear Pusaka,

This is also Korowelang, another wider type of the same dhapur. Also with 13 luks, and "ada-ada" or "gigir sapi" (curved, half-rounded blade in the middle). Attributed also to Mataram style... With "sunggingan" sheath (decorated with special illustration, and the motive of the sunggingan is "modang"... 20th sunggingan from Solo..)
