Descrizione : Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Madura or East Java, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. An ivory hilt carved so meticulously with an ornate decorative program befitting a high kris from Madura. Perhaps the Islamic influence of the previous centuries determined the complete abstraction of the iconography on this kris hilt. Though the silhouette is reminiscent of more figural handles with bowed heads, no humans, birds, lions, serpents, or other animals make an appearance upon the tumpal. A remarkable example of expert carving technique. For a similar example, see David van Duuren, The Kris: An Earthly Approach to a Cosmic Symbol. Netherlands: Pictures Publishers, 1998, p. 48. Size: 1.5 W x 3.5 H (3.8 cm x 8.9 cm) African Ivory.
