A very good and rare example of a knife or badek from the southern Sulawesi region of Bugis Luwu. Handle in typical pistol grip form is made from horn and is encased with silver at the base and top having silver chain attachments. Wooden sheath is fully encased with finely repousse silver with a flaring bottom tip.

Interesting blade with single edge at the bottom half and is double edge at the top half where it is also bending downwards.

Pamor patterns are arranged in the miring technique showing vertical lines called pamor adeg or standing pamor.

There are also chiseled motifs showing small characters at the base, middle and top of the blade that has references.

Length of blade: 9.5"
Overall length: 16"
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 18th century..
