Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, ca. mid-20th century CE. A beautiful ceremonial sword known as a kris (keris).

The forged-steel blade has a straight profile with sharpened blade edges, a pointed tip, and waves of lighter material folded into the composition. The elegant sheath is formed from several conjoined pieces of wood boasting a palette of light and dark brown hues, and exhibits a pair of tight spirals beneath the upper body. Size: 4" W x 19.125" H (10.2 cm x 48.6 cm); size (blade): 12.75" L (32.4 cm).
