The Pendok Cirebon is an artful and traditional sheath ornament and cover for the Java Keris, an exquisite example of Indonesian craftsmanship. Crafted from gold-colored brass with a thickness of 0.3 mm, it combines robustness with aesthetic brilliance. With a length of 35.5 cm and weighing just 46 grams, this Pendok is perfectly sized to stylishly adorn and protect your Java Keris.

The origin of this Pendok in Indonesia underscores the deep cultural significance and masterful skill that goes into creating such traditional objects. In Indonesia, the Keris is considered a symbol of cultural heritage and personal honor, and the Pendok plays a crucial role in highlighting its beauty and importance. Brass was chosen for the Pendok not only for its durability and luster but also because it develops a beautiful patina over time, adding character and history to the piece.
