Description from the seller
Traditional Indonesian kris (keris) with characteristic curved blade and richly carved wooden sheath (warangka). The blade has an elegant curve and is adorned with subtle engraved decorations along the back edge.
The blade shows a dark patina appropriate to age.
The grip is made of dark wood and beautifully carved with floral and stylized motifs.
The matching wooden sheath is also richly worked with leaf and wing ornamentation.
The shape of the upper side of the sheath is typical for Javanese or possibly Balinese style.
The kris in Southeast Asia is not only a weapon, but above all a spiritual and ceremonial object.
Traditionally a kris was seen as bearer of status, protection and spiritual power.

The flowing or curved form of the blade symbolizes cosmic energy and the movement of life.
A kris was often considered an animated object with protective properties.
The floral motifs refer to harmony, strength and connectedness with nature.
Condition:
Good used condition.
The blade shows patina and light oxidation appropriate to age.
The wooden parts show signs of use and light wear.
Sheath shows heavy wear in places, see last photo.
