AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful handle for a Keris dagger in the Pekaka style. Made in Malaysia from wood, varnished. The Mendak ring is made of brass, as are the eyes and other small parts on the upper part of the handle. All brass parts have a beautiful patina.

This is a beautiful work of the carver. The handle is in very good condition, although there are a few small scratches and places where the varnish is slightly peeling, as you can see in the attached photos. Otherwise it is in very good condition.

Such handles for Keris are used in some parts of Malaysia and in southern Thailand. This handle may also have originated there.

The dimensions are clearly visible in the photos.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped within 3 days via Czech Post, including track and trace information.

If a package is returned, the buyer is responsible for the cost of the second shipment.
