Singhalese Kastane

CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS.

Overall, 26inches long with a 1 inch wide blade being 20 inches long. The blade is clearly forged with laminations present.
In the Forte, there appears to be a mark resembling the profile of the monster hilt, it is not crisp enough to be certain but it is recessed lower than the blade. There is a slight twist to the blade 5&1/2 inches from the hilt.
The hilt is lavishly sculptured in the form of a stylized beast covered with foliate or geometric patterns that is in perfect condition, free from chips or cracks. The guard and langets are beautifully shaped and dressed in applied brass. Overall a nice example. No scabbard.
