Description from the seller

Polychrome-painted keris holder Tualen, from Bali, Indonesia. This Tualen (wayang karaktatuur) is in good condition, the figure shows hardly any cracks and the color, due to its age, is somewhat soiled and faded which does not interfere with or detract from this colorful figure. Tualen is also known as Malen in, and in Java it is called Semar.
The patina of the old paint is truly very beautiful and thus adds an extra dimension to this figure. The keris depicted is not included in this lot and is included only for illustration. The Singo Jangkung keris is for sale in another Catawiki auction. The keris shown is therefore NOT included in this lot. This is a nice small keris holder (about 30 cm) and the insertion for the keris is about 2x3 cm, making it suitable for smaller kerises.
• The items are carefully packaged and will be shipped at most within 1 business day with PostNL (including track & trace information)
• The tracking will be updated on your Catawiki account as soon as your parcel is delivered. Check this regularly to prevent your parcel from being returned.
• If a package is returned, the buyer is responsible for the shipping costs of the second shipment.
• Photos are part of the description and remain the property of Booker Trading.
• The lot can optionally be collected by appointment in Zandvoort
• If you have any questions about your package, please contact us via the Catawiki messaging service.
• Customs duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping costs. These costs are the buyer's responsibility.
• We do not declare the value of goods below the auction value and do not mark items as 'gift'. International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
• Please note that the images in our auctions depict the actual product and are NOT stock photos. All of our photos are professionally taken in our studio.
