A very good and rare example of a keris from the southern Sumatran region of Riau Lingga. Handle in the typical pistol grip or kerdas form is made from hard well grained kemuning woods having a finely made golden ferrule or pendoko. Top sheath in the square tebeng from is also made from hard well grained kemuning woods with the bottom stem having the loop attachment called the toli2 made from braided red strings and fine silver wires at the top loop.

Lond and very sturdy blade is straight or lurus but having a slightly angled profile and has an overall shape or dapor called sepokal in Malay.

Pamor patterns are arranged in the mlumah technique showing a peak like fromation at the base called ujung gunung and above it are unplanned pamor patterns of the kulit semangka or melon skin pamor. There are also fine pamor lines hugging the edges and is called wengkon.
With three pamor arrangements, it is also called tri warna of tri colored.

Length of blade: 13.5"
Overall length: 16.25"
Condition: Very good condition.
Age: Krises are traditionally made without any date stampings or engravings of the makers’ name. Although a kris smith or “empu” has his own styles configured together with the dapor and especially the ganjar (cross piece). Obvious age wear and tear, usage, familiarity with forms, motifs and designs, origin and history, mediums and materials used are our guidelines in determining an approximate age. This particular piece, from our experience and knowledge, should go back to the late 19th century.
