Width: 9cm

A finely detailed vintage Malaysian brooch modelled in the form of a traditional kris dagger, crafted in sterling silver.

The piece features the characteristic undulating blade associated with the kris, symbolising status, heritage, and spiritual significance within Southeast Asian culture.

The handle and hilt are intricately worked, with engraved decorative motifs extending along the blade and guard.

The brooch captures the distinctive silhouette of the ceremonial weapon, rendered in miniature with careful attention to proportion and form.

Kris-inspired jewellery became popular as both cultural artefacts and decorative pieces, often reflecting regional craftsmanship and symbolic design.

This example presents as a striking and unusual accessory, suitable for collectors of ethnographic jewellery or silverwork.
