A very good example of a keris from the southern Sumatran region of Riau Lingga. The hilt in the typical form of the region called  kerdas in Malay, and made from very well selected  kemuning woods with the top sheath or sampir in Malay, in the tebeng styles and is also made from very well selected kemuning woods with very good grains. Wooden bottom stem is made of angsana and is encased with plain neck brass encasing and a black wooden bottom tip.

Thick and very sturdy blade with 9 luks or waves, and very well executed base features or perabots, having a thick and flat surface with angled edge called gusen.

Pamor patterns are very condense and are arranged in the mlumah technique of the pamor wos utah or scattered rice variation, which has an unplanned pamor tiban at the base that is showing a figurine of sorts, called pamor rojo gundolo in Javanese.

Length of blade: 13.5"
Overall length: 17"
Condition: Aside from minor crack patching at the hilt's base, it is still intact an in 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..
