An entity of spirit / Gajah Dompak replica

It is told to the people of Batak that Si Singamangaraja XII held a special sword that is hereditary. It can only be used by those chosen by Si Singamangaraja himself. The sword, named Gajah Dompak, has two combined blades with the sharp edges on the inside, facing each other. Unlike other weapons, the Gajah Dompak is not designed for the purpose of killing. Rather, it is a symbolical weapon of peace and can be seen on the flag of the Si Singamangaraja dynasty. The Gajah Dompak is considered to be a mythical or even conceptual sword, as its physical existence cannot be proven.
