A mid 19th century piece from the southern Malaysian Peninsular region, either Selangor or Johore.

Hulu and sampir are made from kemuning wood (Murraya paniculata), with angsana wood bottom stem fitted with silver panels (replaced from the older fittings).

Hulu kerdas with a thick copper bugis cup pendokok.

One of my favorite piece. New silver-works on the sheath.

Pattern welded blade with pamor wos utah (scattered rice) and ujung gunung .

A mid 19th century blade. Length is 12.5 inches. Sturdy blade with 9 luks. Has strong Bugis perabots (base features), including the hexagonal cross section.

The 'whitish' part of the pamor suggests that pamor luwu material was used.

Profile of the bilah.

The visible grains and chatoyance of the kemuning wood. Can you see the abstract figure near the centre of the cross-piece? ;)
