Borneoartifact Item Number: WE0263 Measurement:Whole piece: 47 cm / 18.5 inchesCasing / scabbard: 43 cm / 16.9 inchesBlade & hilt: 43.5 cm / 17.1 inches General descriptions: The keris is a dagger unique to the Malay world; found in Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern Philippines and Cambodia. A keris has a double edged blade. This type of keris has a characteristic blade, hilt and sheath. You are bidding on another great Keris Riau Lingga from Borneo, the 5 luk blade itself is well over 100years old with amazing "pamor" pattern. Some slight rust is visible at interlock luks."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."The old hilt and scabbard were possibly replaced back in the 1980s.  The sheath is entirely enclosed in solid silver casing with a high relief of ornate and  flower motifs, both sides has repeated motifs. The pendongkok, fitted below the hilt of the keris, just above the blade is carved and decorated from silver. Adorned motifs are carved to the highest standards of any "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.This is a real weapon, it is sharp, I strongly urge everybody to handle it with care, and not a toy for children to play with.
