Blade: 456mm in length and 38mm at widest point Hilt: 145mm in length and 82mm at widest point Scabbard: 491mm in length and 51mm at widest point In several areas of the hilt and scabbard it appears to have woven grass or reeds into intricate patterns. Details: SCABBARD - There is a carving of what appears to be either a dragon or a serpent, riding on what looks like water or the wind.There is also a carving of a mask and another that is shaped like an archery bow or possibly a pair of wings. There is one more carving which I think resembles an hourglass or possibly a compass. HILT - The entire hilt itself appears to be a carving of a horse or an animal similar to that form, it has no eyes but more carvings found on its head(these are hard to describe). It seems to be made of the same wood as the scabbard. BLADE - It's a rather small blade to be that of a machete. It could be made of either steel or iron.

I traded for this rocker 15 years ago from a picker friend. This friend told me the rocker came from a Pennsylvania estate. at the time of the trade I noticed other pieces he had that were from the same group of furniture. I told him that the 3 Hepplewhite backed chairs looked very good. He auctioned the chairs that same year and recieved 5,000.00 for the 3 after Butterfields cuts. I know this rocker comes from a very interesting group of furniture.
I had a friend who was attending a appraisal school here in S. California (San Bernardino). I was told by my friend that her teacher who viewed photos of the rocker, said it was mid 18th C. and was very excited about it.
There is one modern screw unfortunately, it is on the bottom of the front leg by the right skate of the rocker. other then that it looks very original and in very good condition.
