A display highlighting the interaction between the monarchy and the wider world

The finest kris have elaborately decorated scabbards. They are usually comprised of a long narrow section and a prominent wide upper part called a wrongka which is often made from a different and more costly wood. The sheath itself may be covered with an ornamental metal casing called a (pendok): in this case, it is made of gold decorated with scrolls and foliage. The hilt is in the form of a rakshasa, a demon in Hindu mythology.
It was presented by Sir W. Burrough on 1 November 1818.
