Sinkin panjang with scabbard from the possession of General G.C.E. van Daalen, The sinkin panjang has a corresponding sheath. The blade of the weapon is completely straight with the sheath and back parallel to each other. Near the tip, the cut bends obliquely to the back. Up to about two-thirds of the blade runs a broad, fairly shallow groove on both sides. The cross-section of the blade is wedge-shaped, with slightly hollow sides. The back gradually narrows towards the tip. At the handle there is a stem ring that is forged with the blade in one piece. The stem ring has eight or nine corners (sepals). The blade is dammed. The handle is forked. The handle is made of caramel horn and has a simple groove pattern. The sheath is decorated with natural and floral motifs, Sumatra, Gotfried Coenraad Ernst van Daalen, anonymous, Noord-Sumatra, c. 1700 - c. 1950, greep, kling, schede, l 73 cm w 10.5 cm × h 3.5 cm l 55 cm l 18 cm × w 5.5 cm w 3.5 cm w 4.5 cm × w 10 cm
