Title: Javanese Kris, Scabbard
Description: The Javanese or Indonesian kris is a hand-forged, magic dagger with an undulating or straight blade. In times past, no Javanese would go anywhere without his kris, and it was an essential part of the groom's outfit at weddings. In Borneo krises were part of bride price. This lot has an antique straight kris with 17-1/2" blade and wooden handle, and a scabbard for another kris, about 12" long. See Quiggin, pp. 256-57, and Opitz, p. 188-89.
