Order Number: MHSAKH10

The hilt of a kris is generally made of wood, but can be gold, silver or ivory, and is about 4 or 5 inches long. It is bent at its middle point, sometimes almost at right angles, to create a pistol grip.

It is always carved, sometimes as a man or the head of a bird, or just a geometric shape. The bird was originally Garuda, but was  made more and more abstract and remote by Islamic zeal against likenesses of living forms. Garuda, with the head of a bird and body of a man, was Vishnu’s vehicle.  Some are foliated or like a cobra. Balinese hilts may have human figures.

About 60-70 years.
