Object description :

"Pair Of Buddhist Command Scepters"
Pair of command sticks with Buddhist motifs, they are not literally weapons intended to injure but insignia of power intended to give orders, however they are designed as real solid weapons.
The blades are made of solid steel, they are not thin sheets like on the "panoply spears", they are real steel points.
One of the blades represents the "Halberd of General Guan" or "Guan Dao" with an engraved representation of the guardian dragon of Buddhist law spitting flames.
The other blade is a kind of tident which symbolizes the "3 jewels" (The Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha / or right faith, right knowledge, right conduct) with an engraved flower which symbolizes the teaching of the law.
Each tip is 13.5 cm long, 4 mm thick at the base.
They are connected to the stock by a brass socket, followed by 2 rings.
The handles are made of very hard wood (Teak?)
