@aira_oki_nawa: Replying to @Aqish Reine A wavy bladed keris from Southeast Asia was found in Okinawa, near the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. its owner remains a mystery. but this single blade hints at a world of merchants, diplomats, and travelers crossing the seas long before the modern age⚓️ #okinawa #History #ryukyu

Faisal Adlin 🇲🇾🇵🇸 :

A 7-luk keris (a keris with seven waves) is deeply tied to high authority, charisma, and governing power. Because of this specific symbolism, it was not usually carried by everyday diplomats, but rather by the highest echelons of the military and administration—most famously the Laksamana (the Grand Admiral, a position epitomized by Hang Tuah).

Nguyễn Sao :

UNESCO has designated the keris as a cultural heritage of Indonesia.

Wahyu Firmansyah :

UNESCO proclaimed the Indonesian Keris as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on November 25, 2005. In 2008, it was officially inscribed onto the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Earl of Wellesley :

in Hikayat Hang Tuah. there is a chapter where Hang Tuah visited Ryukyu

Nicky Shelby :

it has 7 waves, probably belongs to someone with a high rank in the government of that time

aira :

Kang Nunu OLS :

If you know about Keris, the design, the form, how craft technique... that shape and design is Javanese Keris.

LordIZKing :

keris originated from Singapore

amsyarsicecreamkiosk :

Historical records and physical evidence of Hang Tuah's visit to the Ryukyu Kingdom (now Okinawa, Japan) are documented in the government's official records known as the Rekidai Hoan. This 15th-century document records the presence of the Malacca Admiral, who delivered a diplomatic letter to the King of Ryukyu.

PancitInaMo :

keris/kriss originated from the Philippines

Gergous1122 :

The origin of keris comes from South Sulawesi, making keris from the Bugis community

pvtclaire_. :
