Southeast Asia, Indonesia, ca. late 19th century CE. A lovely example of a kris (keris), a traditional Indonesian ceremonial sword. The handle is carved from a chestnut-hued hard wood and boasts a pair of abstract anthropomorphic masks carved along the interior curve. A small, hemispherical brass separation disc rests between the handle and the blade guard. The iron blade has a straight, tapering profile with a pointed guard and undulating integral bands of lighter material. The sheath is hand-carved from hard wood with a wide guard protector and a slender profile. The sheath is covered with a copper-alloy jacket which is open on one side and bears incised foliate and lattice motifs along the open sides. Size: 19.625" L x 5.875" W (49.8 cm x 14.9 cm); length of blade: 15.375" L (39.1 cm).
