Badek Bugis 201.

Badek Bugis 201 – A good example of a side weapon called the badek. From the southern Sulawesi regions of Bugis. The handle is made of hard kemunning woods and the bottom stem has silver alloy panels and clip like feature.

Very sturdy single edge blade is still rather sharp, and is pattern welded in the mlumah technique, showing pamors of the wos utah or scattered rice variations.

The pamor wos utah is said to enhance the owner's material well being.

Condition: Very Good Condition.

Age:  Krises and other edge weapons from the region, 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 early 20th century.

Blade length: 7.3". Overall length = 10”
