15th C. Indonesian Majapahit Iron Pinchet Knife

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Java, Majapahit Empire, ca. 15th century CE. A very old example of an iron pinchet knife. The handle is in the form of a standing anthropomorphic figure whose head is bent forward. The cast form has a great deal of detail on both front and back, giving the figure clothing, jewelry, and a haunting guise. The iron blade is wide with a uniform profile that tapers gently to a point; the body of the blade displays equidistant indentations along both sides. A dark wooden sheath houses the blade and is comprised of a thin blade holster and a curved guard protector. Size with sheath: 12.875" L (32.7 cm); length of blade: 8.875" L (22.5 cm).
