A Sikin, one of the many variations of the Klewang, the Indonesian machete like sword. This one is Acheen from Sumatra, mid 19th C. The blade is straight and single edge, 23 inches long with a 16 inches long fuller just below the spine. The steel bolster is forged in a polygonal shape. The hilt is carved of horn in a typical forked pommel. The scabbard is made of dark hardwood bound with silver bands. The scabbard mouth is finely carved ivory, 5 ½ inches long. Total length is 30 1/2 inches. Very good condition. The horn hilt is cracked but holds very solid. Few cracks and chips on the scabbard. A good complete sword.
