Keris Wafak Luk 9 Melayu Riau Ulu Crystal 0822.
Keris Wafak Luk 9 Melayu Riau Ulu Crystal 0822 -
A rare form of kris
from southern Sumatran regions of Riau Lingga. Handle in the typical
jawa demam
form, is made from natural
clear rock crystal.
The top sheath or sampir in
Malay, is in the square
tebeng form,
and is made of very well selected kemuning woods
with natural flashing grains. Bottom stem or gandar is
made of angsana woods
with tiger stripe grains.
A filigree silver pendoko or
ferrule completes the fittings.
Long and very sturdy blade with 9 waves or luks and a prominent spine, has
very well executed base features or perabots, with
the fretworks or grenengs, and
the elephant trunk or
kembang kacang at the gandik.
Pamor patterns
are very rare, with the base showing a peak like formation arranged in
the mlumah technique, and above it, arranged in the miring
technique shows Islamic Arabic alphabetical and numeric scripts called
wafak.
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 19th century, with newly made hilt.
Length of blade: 14.5". Overall length: 18".
