KERIS


The keris is an elongated dagger that has been in existence for over 600 years. It is used especially by the Malays in South East Asia and is believed to have enormous mystical powers. The keris is divided into three parts, the 'eye' which is the sharpest end of the weapon; the cover and 'hulu' or the body. It is now used more in traditional ceremonies and customs. The exceptional beauty of this collection is proof of the tremendous amount of skill and attentive care devoted towards producing this artistic creation.
