Very good example of a small knife or sewah from the central Sumatran regions. Handle is made of buffalo horn and is finely carved in the form of a parrot or kakaktua bird, with the top sheath also made of horn and is finely and deeply carved with pierced through works at places. Bottom stem is made from woods having silver bands and an horn bottom tip.
Very sturdy blade with a single sharp edge and a hexagonal base ferrule, has a shallow fuller or sogokan at the base of the blunt side. These are characteristics of the sewah which is commonly found in central or northern Sumatra.
Pattern welded blade is not using contrasting metals which is the norm of the region, and is forged in the mlumah technique of the wos utah or scattered rice variations which is said to enhance the owner’s material well being.
