Badek Bugis Sulawesi Qul Adeg Perak Allah.

Badek Bugis Sulawesi Qul Adeg Perak Allah  – Another very good adn rare example of a side weapon called badek from the southern Sulawesi regions of Bugis. Handle is made from well selected kemuning woods with flashing gains and has a well repoussed silver ferrule with one side having the word Mohammad in Arabic. The top sheath is fully encased with well repoussed silver and thick three dimensional word of Allah. The bottom stem is made of well selected angsena woods with tiger's stripe grains, and finely repoussed silver bands and rings, with the bottom tip having Arabic numerals or wafak that has symbolic meanings.

Very sturdy blade with sharp a single edge and a tapering tip, having pamor pattern arranged in the miring technique. At the base a swirl like formation is seen and is called pamor qul buntet, and above it are pamor adeg or standing pamor.

The pamor qul buntet is said to protect the owner in times of chaos, while the pamor adeg is said to protect the owner from natural mishaps. 

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 late 19^th century blade with mid 20th century fittings.

Dimensions: Please see top picture with side rule.
