EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, titled "Asiatic Weapons," showcases a diverse array of historic weapons originating from various regions of Asia. The engraving, created by J. Hamilton for Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812 by Stockdale, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex military history of Asia. The image begins with a Polygar sword (1), a distinctive weapon from the Polygar kingdom in South India. The sword features a curved blade with a distinctive hilt and pommel. Next to it is a Colleree stick (2), a weapon used primarily for close combat, characterized by its long, thick handle and small blade. The engraving continues with a Malay dagger or kris (3-8), a traditional Malay weapon with a distinctive wavy blade and intricately decorated sheath. The kris is often considered a symbol of Malay identity and is believed to possess supernatural powers. The engraving also includes several Malay cresses or kris daggers (9, 10), smaller versions of the Malay dagger, which were often used for ceremonial purposes. The final weapons depicted are a Malay sabre and sheath (11, 12), and a Malay dagger (13). This engraving provides a valuable record of the diverse and intricate weapons used in Asia during the early 19th century. The detail and accuracy of the engraving offer a unique perspective into the military cultures and histories of various Asian regions, making it an essential resource for historians, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of weapons and military traditions.
