[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9559872, member: 2844"]It is fairly recent and made in Aeng Tongtong in East Madura. The sheath shape is a typical central and east Madurese "sarong jurigan", which means captain's sheath, so associated with Madura's maritime trade, traditionally their main source of income. This one never belonged to a captain though, it was made to be decorative. It looks like the hilt is meant to resemble a "Landhian Pulasir", also Madurese. The woodcarving has no quality to speak of, compared to traditional Madurese woodcarving, but these do sell for $100+ nowadays.[/QUOTE]
