Carved Sheath, Knife

Indonesian short Kris/Keris knife/dagger, possibly from Bali, nicely hand-carved head and face. 12"
curved Wilali/blade has age and wear, replacement Ukiran/hilt and Warangka/scabbard was a more recent carving with paint wash or residue. Very nice curved blade with pamor.
Kris are used for display, as talismans with magical powers, weapons, a sanctified heirloom (Pusaka), auxiliary equipment for court soldiers, an accessory for ceremonial dress, an indicator of social status, a symbol of heroism, etc.

All weapons in this collection have been thoroughly examined and researched to the best of our abilities. The majority are of the period, dynasties or reign, are used by the tribes or cultures and rarely for the commercial trade. If created for the tourist trade it will be clearly stated and in most cases obvious in terms of craftsmanship. This is a rare lifetime collection and pieces of this quality and amount are almost never found in one auction. These are not fakes or reproductions, except for the few decorative pieces which were most likely given as gifts to the original collector. Please feel free to ask any question before bidding.
