Thai Carved Wood Dha Sword with Engraved Blade & Brass Guard – 36.5"
This is a decorative Thai dha-style sword featuring a finely hand-carved wooden handle and matching sheath. The 21-inch unsharpened steel blade bears engraved symbols, enhancing its ceremonial appeal. A modest brass crossguard with subtle curvature connects the blade to the handle, which tapers elegantly and is adorned with stylized leaf or scale-like carvings.
The wooden scabbard is richly detailed with dense foliate scrollwork and secured with three polished brass bands. A braided yellow cord wraps around the upper section, suggesting it may have been designed for ceremonial display or as a souvenir piece.
Likely crafted in Thailand for decorative or ritual use, this piece reflects traditional Southeast Asian sword aesthetics while blending practical construction with artisanal embellishment. A captivating addition for collectors of ethnographic arms or Southeast Asian cultural artifacts.
Condition:
Good condition overall. Blade is unsharpened with minor oxidation. The guard is slightly loose but intact. Wood elements remain structurally sound with visible carving detail throughout. Brass fittings show mild tarnish consistent with age.
Size:
- Length with Sheath: 36.5 inches
- Sword Length: 32.5 inches
