Indonesian Kris {Dagger} From The Island Of Timor

Timor Indonesia. Kris/Keris dagger with bone or horn handle, wooden sheath with metal rings. Knife, 15" , sheath, 12" Iron and nickelous iron laminations in the pamor blade. The Wilali/blade is most likely earlier then the Ukiran/hilt and warangka/scabbard. Possibly Timor or Badik, Sulawesi Indonesia.
Pamor refers to a pattern in the blade made by means of forging together various metals, typically layered billets of steel and nickel alloys. It is an exception and distinctive blade.

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.
