silver bird

Scarce sword with a horn hilt ending in a beautifull silver birdshead. The wooden scabbard covered with leather and silver mounts. The blade with nice and clear pamor.

The style of the mounts is similar to a sword that I found on the database in the museum of Ethnology in Leiden number and described as "Sword South Celebes".

Our sword has an old collection number 30-96 as it was once in the collection of the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam
