Dagger - Javanese Keris (Keris Luk with Pendok) - Javanese - Indonesia (No reserve price)

A Javanese keris dagger distinguished by its 'luk' (curved blade) and fitted with a 'pendok' (scabbard). The keris is an iconic Southeast Asian weapon and spiritual object, particularly revered in Java, Indonesia. Known for its distinctive asymmetrical blade, often wavy or straight, the keris combines metallurgy, artistry, and symbolism. The number of curves ('luk') in the blade holds specific meanings, associated with various mystical and cultural beliefs. The pendok protects the blade and is typically crafted with elaborate ornamentation. Historically, keris were used both as weapons and heirlooms, embodying status and ancestral connection. Today, they remain treasured for their craftsmanship and cultural heritage within Indonesian society and beyond.
