Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, ca. early 20th century CE. A lovely example of a ceremonial kris (keris) sword. The iron blade has a relatively straight profile with a thin, projecting blade guard and sharp edges which taper gently to a point. The handle is hand-carved from toffee-hued hard wood and exhibits a pair of abstract anthropomorphic faces along the interior curve. A small brass separation disc has twelve raised, red-colored bulbs around the central groove and rests between the blade guard and handle. The scabbard is carved from hard wood of tan and cream hues, a brass jacket displays an intricate series of zoomorphic and foliate motifs. Size: 20.5" L x 6.625" W (52.1 cm x 16.8 cm); length of blade: 14.7" L (37.3 cm).
