AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The magnificent Lombok Keris Pedang – a 19th-20th century fusion of power and prestige.

Be witness to a truly extraordinary keris: an antique, magnificent Lombok Keris Pedang from the 19th century, a sublime combination of lush beauty, rare design, and deeply protective spiritual power. This is not just an heirloom; it is a valuable instrument for the modern leader.

From the moment you lay eyes on it, the pure splendor of this keris is unmistakable. The centerpiece, a beautifully detailed silver grip with an image of the formidable Hindu god Dwarapala, draws the eye. This revered 'door guardian', fierce yet benevolent, stands as an eternal protector, embodies unwavering strength against all negative influences, and guards your path to success. The grip is majestically mounted on a heavy, gleaming silver angkop, meticulously adorned with 8 large, captivating red rubies, a testament to its royal lineage.

The keris finds its perfect home in a Kekojongan warangka, crafted from the superb Purnama Sada wood, with its gandar carved from equally beautiful Timoho Pelet wood, completing a rich tapestry of textures and traditional craftsmanship.

The true heart of this masterpiece, however, is revealed when the substantial 47.5 cm long wilah (blade) emerges. Forged into the extremely rare Keris Pedang dapur, its remarkable length is a visual statement of its unique size. Inspired by the revered Indonesian sword, the Pedang, this keris surpasses mere weaponry; it is a powerful symbol of heritage and inherent authority. This dapur has been associated with leaders who bore the mandate of the people for centuries. It is believed that they channel spiritual energies that guide the owner in drafting fair regulations, fostering harmony, and maintaining unwavering integrity in all systems. If you are an entrepreneur, director, manager, or executive striving for impactful leadership and a harmonious future, then the Keris Dapur Pedang is your indispensable companion.

The two different pamors give this wilah even more layered power: pamor Wusing Wutah and pamor Ngulit Semangka.

The Wusing Wutah pamor forms an invisible, powerful barrier, a spiritual shield that provides complete protection against both physical and spiritual dangers and grants deep peace of mind.

The Ngulit Semangka pamor acts as a magnet for fortune, stimulates financial growth, and continually attracts success into your life.

This piece, acquired from a discerning collector in Mataram, Lombok, known for its collection of spiritually powerful kerisses, carries an evident lineage of power. The Isi (spiritual essence) resonates with a majestic presence and strong protective forces. We invite you to experience this connection for yourself; upon request we are happy to share our full meditation experiences with this rare and powerful keris.
