A scarce stick sword from the island of Solor

A scarce stick sword from the island of Solor, broad blade 13 in., the back forming a small peak before descending sharply to meet the nearly straight edge, each side with a very shallow back fuller; long grip (18.5 in.) partially clad with polished horn and set with three brass bands.

This scarce type of weapon is known only on the tiny island of Solor (86 square miles), in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia.
