Balinese War Kris
The zigzag pattern seen on the middle of this kris’s wooden handle may be pleasant to the eye but its most important purpose is to increase the holding power of the grip. The sheath is carved of rare ebony wood and painted with a golden yellow on one side. The blade is straight with a fantastic rippling damascene pattern or pamor. It also has an animal symbol, a naga dragon, and floral motifs in gold.
