    Anthropomorphic kriss handle in copper alloy

    Indonesia, East Java / Island of Bali
    16th – 17th century


    °°° Price can be reasonably negotiated °°°

    Kriss handle representing a female deity depicted standing barefoot, legs apart and resting on a circular base. She is dressed in a sarong with floral patterns held at waist level by a richly crafted belt and covering the back of the subject in a long section of fabric with floral and diamond patterns, the chest covered by a hanging silk fabric in two hemmed panels falling from the shoulders. The subject is richly adorned with heavy ornate bracelets on the arms and wrists as well as a large necklace decorated with a massive pectoral, the arms folded, pressed against the body, the hands with oversized nails each holding a section of belt. The face tilted slightly to the right is characterized by fine incised eyebrows overlooking two lenticular eyes as well as an aquiline nose above a mouth with a wide smile revealing the teeth. The ears decorated with rich circular ornaments, a tiara with finely crafted florets, the hairstyle of rare elegance and pulled back into a clever bun is decorated with swirling locks falling in a long braid down to the lower back. A stylized head of Garuda holding the hair at the back of the head.
