  • Description
Pewter is an alloy consisting of mostly tin and it is the fourth most precious metal. It also has very small amounts of antimony and copper which is added
mainly for strength and/or colour. 

The Antique Pewter finish is usually nickel plating on brass which has been dulled and darkened to simulate pewter. This may also be referred to as pewter or antique nickel.
The keris is a dagger unique to the Malay cultures of Southeast Asia, with renderings depicting the weapon dating to 825 CE. Asymmetry is this ancient weapon’s distinguishing feature and, although different styles exist, it is the wavy blade that is instantly recognisable. Today, the keris is a potent symbol of the history and culture of the Malay world. This keris is made from highly polished fine Malaysian pewter with
24K gold plated. It can be used as a letter opener or for display.
