Description
Kris Surakarta (Solo), Java 19th to early 20th century Total length in scabbard approx. 49 cm Kris with beautifully pamorised straight blade and more recent wooden mountings. The smooth grip is finely ornamented in two places, the scabbard with a ladrang wrangka (scabbard sheath) and sheet brass. The number 1 is embossed on it, presumably indicating its use by the Dutch colonial forces.
