Majapahit Keris

[kai]

Hello Jean,

Very interesting indeed, the kris is still in "leaf" style (short & broad), not a modern kris. From early Majapahit period?

Mojo was a fairly short period (at least compared to the whole classical period during which this development took place).

Considering the pretty scant evidence, I'd expect that this earlier style was still utilized during a notable part of the late classical period. However, even if this sculpture could be reliably dated to the late Mojo period, it might be just a reference to an already obsolete style.

Regards,
Kai
