Ivory grip carved with floral motifs. Fine scabbard with wooden wrangka, finely carved; a relieved knightly order at the front featuring a pronged, crowned cross surmounted by the Dutch crown, a bow and held by a dragon and a Pegasus; featuring a monogram surmounted by the Dutch crown and surrounded by a trophy of arms and cannons ("W" probably stands either for William III or Wilhelmina of the Netherlands); the border carved with leaves. Scarce pendok made of yellow, gilt plating provided with darker, gilt plating decorations (small missing parts) at the edges, pierced and engraved with floral motifs, the chape with small knuckle guard.An European businessman bought this kris (together with lot N° 393) in Saurebaya or in Madura from a creditor who declared that about fifteen years before both daggers were from the property of the "sultan of Madoera". After buying them, the businessman asked for an estimate of the kris (in Madura or in Surabaya) and discovered that the Kris features a 18-carat gilt plating pendok, 14-carat gilt plating decorations on the pendok (and probably on the Selut), ivory grip, three rows of diamonds at the Mendak, and also that the first part of the blade is made of solid silver. The estimate confirmed also that - based on its quality and decorations - the kris was from the property of the sultan. Then the kris was shown to other collectors too, and they confirmed this estimate. Both the kris and its estimate are well-described in a letter the businessman wrote to his family in 1920's to tell them about his journey. A copy of the letter (written in Italian) can be seen on request. The "Carte des pavillons, en usage chez les differerents peuples des Indes-Orientales Neerlandaises", commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of foreign affairs and dated 1865, can feature also four flags of Madura (it wasa Dutch colony at that time) indicated as "MADOERA Sultan", the first one depicting the arms of the Sumenep Sultan (a heraldic shield surmounted by the Dutch crown, held by a dragon and a pegasus, featuring a bow at the bottom), very similar to this kris, which however has the order in place of the shield. The "W" monogram at the back (standing for William III or Wilhelmina of the Netherlands) places the kris between the second half of the XIX Century and the beginning of the XX. A wonderful dagger, worthy of a sultan and of important, historical value. This one and the other items presented in this collection were collected by an European businessman during his trip to India, in the Dutch Indies to Batavia (Java) and in the Far East, between 1920 and 1921. The documents provided by his heirs allowed to retrace some of the stops he made during his journey, among them (approximately in chronological order): Batavia (Jakarta) and Surabaya, Madura, Sumatra, Singapore, Penang, Rangoon, Kolkata, Bombay, and probably Colombo (Ceylon), Shanghai and Hongkong too. All these pieces had always belonged to his family and now, for the first time, almost a century later, they are presented to the public and sold by auction. dimensions: length 41,2 cm.
