A Singhalese coral-mounted kastane Sri Lanka, 19th Century

Item Details

Description

A Singhalese coral-mounted kastane
Sri Lanka, 19th Century
the single-edged steel blade of curved form with octagonal grip, knuckle guard and quillons, the pommel in the form of a lion head, the s-shaped guard terminating in the head of a makara, the quillons terminating in four makara heads, the silver-gilt hilt and pommel inlaid with red coral (corallium rubrum) and decorated in openwork repoussé with floral and foliate motifs
75.6 cm. long
Footnotes:
The elaborately decorated kastane was a type of ceremonial sword that denoted different ranks and offices at the Kandyan Court from the 17th century onwards. They were depicted in Dutch VOC paintings in Ceylon. For instance, Carel Frederik Reimer's 1772 illustration titled Reception of the Envoys from Kandy in Colombo (RP-T-1904-18, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) shows an envoy from the Kingdom of Kandy to the left wearing a short lion-headed sword of similar form to the present lot.
