Description
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.
