Description from the seller

A very fine Buginese kris/keris from the 19th century, made on the island of Celebes/Sulawesi.

Nicely stylized wrangka with mendak (interring). The iron naga (snake) kling has a particularly beautiful pamor. Beautifully stylized blade with relief.

Knob on the sheath. The grip stands almost at right angles to the kris.

Total length 47 cm. The blade itself (excluding the grip) is 31 cm.
In wonderful and undamaged condition.

I pack well and ship insured with track & trace.
