¶ English translation of Dr. I. Groneman's articles published as 'Der Kris der Javaner' in German (1910-1913) in the Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie (IAE 19 & 21). An epoch-making early study of the Javanese kris, in which Groneman reports on his sessions with the empu Karja di Krama to the international forum of ethnologists. Not only does it survey, step by step, the creation of five krisses using 'proto pamors' but it also deals with the smithy and all the individual tools used. Groneman furthermore describes in great detail the experiments which, with the purpose of reviving the art of Javanese weapon forging, took place on his initiative with new pamor materials such as lumps of Chinese nickel and slices of German Krupp nickel. An allround history of the kris, as recorded by the Javanese themselves in chronicle or manuscripts, and an extensive alphabetical list of Javanese kris-related terms are included.

¶ Reference work on Indonesian edged weapons (andar, badek, balato, baluse, barong, bayu, buko, golok, jimpul, kalasan, kampilan, keris/kris, kudi, ladieng, mandau, niabor, palitai, pandat, parang, pedang, sewar, sumpitan, tumbok lada, wedung, etc). In addition, shields, spears, war hats and war dresses are illustrated and described. The unicity of this book is that an edged weapon can be determined by the shape of its blade using a scheme and without knowing its Indonesian name. The illustrated pieces have been drawn from the National Museum of Ethnology at Leiden (the Netherlands) as well as from several private collections. Among them some 65 keris and keris hilts in part collected during the 19th century and now regarded as masterpieces held at the above-mentioned museum.
