A fine Indonesian kriss hilt
A fine Indonesian kriss hilt
Indonesia, Java, 19th century
The hilt, crafted from a fossilized stone, is mounted on a forged iron base. The artisan who created this rare hilt, in addition to possessing a keen aesthetic sense and skill in sculpting, chiseling, and engraving, understood the symbolism and magical power of this unusual and precious material. Through it, an invisible bridge was created between the kriss owner and the supernatural world of their ancestors.
