RARE semar keris from Lombok
Rare item semar keris from Lombok Indonesia, as I am told these "knives" where hold by Hindu priests in Bali and Lombok when participating in ceremony. This specific one is used for funerals where the sould has been cut free from this world to go to the next dimension. I think there is pamor but not sure pls look closely at the photos to make up your own mind. The figure is Delem and has 6 (!) fingers, he is the loyal but simple-minded servant of the Kotawas.
There is a nice floral decorated brass mendak and there are no restorations, it is fully original. The patina of the wood shows it's age and originality. Some surface scratches and small drying cracks, which is normal considering the age of the item
Dimensions (approx.):
wilah: 11 cm
ukiran: 10 cm
whole: 23 cm (on custom made iron stand it reaches 24cm height)
