- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. An attractive example of a personal ceremonial sword known as a kris (also keris). The hand-carved wooden handle exhibits a pair of abstract anthropomorphic maskettes along the interior curve, and beneath is a gilt copper spacer disc with a granular design. The forged-steel blade features an oscillating serpentine profile with a pointed hand guard and sharpened edges that trace down to a point. The sheath has a bulbous guard protector with one dramatically curved point above the narrow blade housing, and the gilt brass sheath jacket boasts intricate foliate patterns across one side. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 6.625" W x 20.2" H (16.8 cm x 51.3 cm); (blade): 14.375" L (36.5 cm)
Provenance: private Rochester, Michigan, USA collection
