Keris Hilt of Prabu

Design of  Hilt

All the fine details of Prabu slowly craved over hundred of hours by a fine tool from a single piece of material. Any mistake made will render the art piece useless and  start all over again. The form of the handle fits finely as a handle for the Keris. 

Size  1.91 × 5.11  in | 5 × 13  cm

Keris Hilt of Prabu

A Legacy Honoured: One of the rare balinese keris hilt maestro

In a heartfelt moment for the world of traditional Balinese craftsmanship, the beloved keris hilt maestro, Mr Ida Bagus Pastika, has retired due to age. 

 The island of Bali, renowned for its rich cultural heritage, bids farewell to a master artisan whose skill and devotion have shaped the art of keris crafting for decades.

The keris, a unique and highly revered dagger in Indonesian culture, is on the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is not just a weapon but a spiritual object imbued with meaning and history. The hilt, often adorned with intricate designs and symbolism, is a critical component that reflects the artistry and cultural significance of this traditional weapon.  Mr Pastika has been a pivotal figure in preserving and innovating this ancient art form.
