Javanese Tombok

Like the more widely known Keris, the Tombok blades of Java are an object of veneration and widely believed to be endowed with mystical powers. This exquisite piece has been painstakingly crafted with stunning attention to detail from blade tip to hilt. Two scorpions adorn the Tombok's jaggedly curving blade, enhancing it's powers of victory over injury and even death. The delicate floral pattern which accents both handle and sheath are meant to bless and protect the owner with life-giving energies.
