Borneoartifact Item Number: WE0404
Antique keris with ~bone~ end.
Total: 44 cm / 17.3 inches
Blade & Hilt: 41 cm / 16.1 inches
Casing: 40 cm / 15.7 inches
Keris are found in the regions of Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern Philippines and Cambodia.
You are bidding on an antique Sapukal Riau Lingga keris, the straight double edged blade blade alone is antique, over 100 years old.
The wavy blade comes with an unusually rare pattern of pamor.
"The pamor or damascening is the pattern in the surface of a keris blade. The pamor is the most important part of the keris, as according to common belief, it has strong magic power and influence of one pamor pattern is not the same as that of another. There are hundreds of names for pamor patterns, all with different powers and kinds of magic. "
The hilt and scabbard were replaced back in the 1980s, exceptional finishing in every angle, extremely detailed. Sheath is entirely enclosed with solid 100% silver casing with a high relief of ornate motifs.
Both sides of sheath has different motifs.
The "Pendongkok", fitted below the hilt , just above the blade is carved and decorated from 100% silver as well. These motifs are carved to the highest standards and can only be archived by a "pandai besi".
"In bygone days a skilled maker was much respected and every Raja maintained a master craftsman, known as empu or pandai besi, at his court."
Please email me if have any questions, u'll be surprise to discover the sheath's tip is NOT decorated with bone BUT something far far more valuble and rare.
I tip this to be some of the finest keris ever made in the entire region of Asia, view my photos below to appreciate, thanks.
This is a real weapon, not a toy for children to play with.
