Please see description below for more detail and pictures. This and all the other kris handles I have for sale were in two museum shows at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham AL, and the Art Museum in St. Petersburg FL. I can email additional information on these shows and the article on them published in the World of Tribal Arts Magazine. These are very fine examples collected over a period of 20 years and selected from many thousands of keris hilts I had offered to me. Please see my website at /Oceanica for more fine handles and other fine oceanic and African tribal art.
