The History of Java Museum is one of the museums with its character, namely, historical character. Here more precisely, concerns the history of the island of Java. There are lots of historical collections on display at the History of Java Museum. One of them is the collection of Pandawa Lare kris.

This historical object is one of the kris collections in the History of Java Museum. Pandawa Lare kris has an interesting historical story. The Pandawa Lare keris is a form of dhapur luk five kris; the length of the blade is medium. This kris is a relic of the Mataram kingdom of Kertosono. The philosophy of the Pandawa Lare kris is to tell the story of the life of the Pandawa family who must undergo exile.


It is said that the ancestors used this kris for those who were guiding knowledge. This kris is one of the rare and difficult to obtain kris. This Pandawa Lare Heritage Kris of the Mataram Kingdom can be owned by Heirloom Kris Fans, who prioritize the benefits and magical contents.
