AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Blawong, a finely carved wooden wall plaque for hanging a kris.
But you don’t have to, because even without Kris, it’s an attractive panel to enjoy on the wall.

Blawong gunungan (= the contours of the sacred Meru volcano) with graceful, intricately curled openwork motifs. We also see a Barong mask. Barong, the name of the king of spirits, the leader of the good forces in Balinese mythology.
The holder is carved from hardwood (TEAK). The panel has a warm appearance. The shown krisses do not belong to this lot.
