Malay Archipelago – Bugis-Style Keris – 5 Luk – Late 19th/Early 20th Century
Description
Traditional keris in Bugis-associated dress, probably dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.
The iron/steel blade has a shallow undulating form with probably five luk. The broad asymmetrical base shows characteristic keris features, including the ganja, gandik, a curved kembang-kacang-like projection and greneng-type detailing.
A layered forging structure is visible in parts of the blade, particularly around the base. The present surface does not show the pattern with sufficient clarity to identify a specific named pamor reliably. No specific pamor attribution is therefore given.
The exact dapur cannot be established with sufficient confidence. Although several characteristics are compatible with traditional five-luk forms, not all diagnostic ricikan can be verified sufficiently to justify a specific dapur attribution.
The strongly recurved dark wooden hilt belongs to a type associated with Bugis keris dress and the Jawa Demam / hulu kerdas family of hilt forms. Between the blade and hilt is a decorated yellow-metal hilt fitting; its precise alloy has not been tested.
The wooden scabbard consists of a broad rounded, boat-shaped sampir and a long narrow gandar. This form is likewise consistent with Bugis-style keris dress.
Comparable combinations of Bugis-style scabbards and strongly curved hilts are documented in museum collections from Sulawesi, Sumatra, Riau and the wider Malacca Straits region. These forms circulated extensively throughout the maritime Malay world, and the precise geographical place of manufacture therefore cannot be established from stylistic characteristics alone.
It also cannot be determined whether the blade, hilt and scabbard were originally produced as a single ensemble or were combined during the object's historical use.

Please study the photographs carefully to form your own opinion regarding the condition and details of this item.
