Iron Ancestors - Kris Sajen, Kris Majapahit and Related Objects by Théo Alkema (ed.), Ben Grishaaver et Karel Sirag -
Published by C. Zwartenkot Art Books, Leiden 2010 - Full rust-colored publisher's cloth binding, under illustrated dust jacket, 222 pages, format: 29 x 22,5 cm - Very Important Photographic Credits - Contents: see photos -
Very good Conditions - This book is new. It comes from a bookstore that has ceased operations -
This book is about the Iron Ancestors, these remarkable objects, amulets rather than weapons, material witnesses of an ancestor cult that permeates many phases of Indonesian culture from the earliest times to the present - The main group and the relatively best-known embodies the all-iron Kris with a stylized human being as its hilt. But thisbook includes other objects, even lees known, most of which have found only scant mention in difficult to obtain specialized publications or have been ignored all together. What they have in common is that they are all-iron with an ancestor hilt. That is why the author calls them Iron Ancestors. - The three main types of all-iron Kris are designated as clearly as possoble. Moreover, in the largest group generally referred to as Kris "Sajen", sacrificial Kris, we present a number of separate styles that have not been previously recognized as such. Human figures in and on blades - some, but not all, in "Wayang" style - complète this unique exposition.
The book, the first to be entirely devoted to all these time-honoured heirlooms (Pusakas), is based upon the collection of the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde in Leiden (National Museum of Ethnology) and an unusually large private collection -
