A high-quality and unique Javanese spearhead dagger with deeply engraved bone hilt with floral patterns and crossguard with cross chain of a European naval style from the first part of the 19th century. The wooden scabbard is covered with black leather and fitted with large silver mounts. The triangular steel blade has a strong pattern typical for the Javanese region.
