That is a very nice panjang and I believe there is an azimat on the back of the scabbard. Would it be too much of a bother to get a better picture of that ?
Oh and some names of the parts of these swords ![]() Last edited by RhysMichael; 3rd January 2007 at 12:59 AM. |

flavio, a very nice new year gift you have
![]() I wish I have one like yours ![]() would you kind enough to sent your sikin to me, flavio ? ![]() Thanks John for your sharing Sikin parts names. Some part names equal spell and mean with bahasa such as "mata" and "hulu". and "wilah" almost sound like "bilah" which mean edge blade. other part is surely from acehnese languange. I got new knowledge about sikin,john. |

Utami Please let me know if the terms I have are not correct or if they are a dialect other than Aceh. You have been a great help on this in the past. I don't speak the language and many who wrote the references did not either. So some of the sources out there mix terms from different dialects. I am trying to use the Aceh terms when I can find them as the sword is mainly atributed to the Aceh. Thanks |

Here is what I can find I am afraid it is not specific to your design Quote:

The pattern in the picture you post ( resembling an X ) may be bungong keupala( "Aceh - Art and Culture" by Holly s. Smith I know this is not much, I am looking for Van der Hoop's work ( Indonesian Ornamental Design 1949). that may have more for us. If I find more I will post it |

The hilt of my short Sumatra klewang has a carving like Willem scabbard.
