A 19th Century Jewelled Indonesian Kris Dagger unmarked but tested as 9ctAn exceptional and visually commanding 19th Century Indonesian kris, with the blade and hilt possible as early as 18th century. Distinguished by its elegant wavy, tapering iron blade, finely pattern welded with pamor. This particular blade further enhanced by a rare winged lion perabot, lending symbolic power. The dagger is preserved in its wood lined scabbard, overlaid with a scroll embossed gilt metal mount ornamented with a mask on either side.
