Kastane Sword
- Dated: ca. 1776- 1799
- Culture: Singhala, Sri Lanka
- Medium: Steel, silver, gems, wood.
- Dimensions: full Length: 56 cm; blade Length: 39 cm
The blade of this Kastane sword is of European origin. The hilt, pommel and the guards endings are always worked into the shape of monster’s heads. In this piece with a single edged, curved, steel blade the hilt and scabbard’s richness stands out, completely made out of engraved silver.
The hilt, cast in a single piece, presents a grip with decoration set out in panels filled with vegetal themes and grotesques. In the hand-guard a flawlessly chiselled beautiful feminine figure stands out.
The guards and the pommels are worked into the shape of makaras – mythical creature of Hindu mythology – with rubies set in their eyes. The scabbard, made of wood, is completely covered in repoussé and chiselled silver with a similar panelled vegetal decoration.

ASOIAF CHALLENGE - DAY 5: Who do you ship?
ASOIAF CHALLENGE - DAY 4: Favourite House?
Hm. Probably Stark. I do like Martell too, and Mormont.
ASOIAF CHALLENGE - DAY THREE: Where would you want to live in the ASoIaF world?
Hm. I’d probably pick either the Eyrie or the North. The Eyrie is just gorgeous, I absolutely love it’s scenery - not so much the way it is presented in the show, but the way it’s described in the books it sounds so amazing! The North would be a nice place to live as well, I think. I would pick Dorne, too, but I think it’d be too damn hot for me.
