A strange rare sword with large horn handle in abstract animal head.

The blade what shows great age seems to have  some early Malay influence .

​

This sword is comparable with object C.996  in the National Museum of Copenhagen

Where it is described as Preanger sword. 

​

The hilt shows resemblance with hilts from Halmahera in the North Moluccas.

​

Early 19th century
