Gading

is the Indonesian word for ivory. It is used to build a warangka or a handle. Originally this ivory is from the tusks of an elephant. The tusks of an African elephant are up to 160 cm long, and up to 125 cm long at the Asian elephant. The weight is 25 kg and 18 kg. One uses ivory of elephants in Sumatra. Meanwhile, it is hard to come by and very expensive for buying ancient ivory. In 1993 they paid 225,000 rupiah for 1 kg Sumatra ivory and 140,000 rupiah for 1 kg of African ivory, now there are 6,000,000 rupiah (approx. EUR 00) for good ivory. Many keris experts wanted earlier no warangka made of ivory because it is a very hard material and they were afraid that it will damage the blade and pamor. Therefore only Keris were stored with evil magical force in Ivory warangka or from people who do not understand the world of keris. With a handle that was never a problem, because it is not directly connected to the blade. There are other Gading species used as only the elephant, e. g. walrus and seal. Keris experts believe that the teeth of a manatee exert positive magical powers. On Bali, Palembang and Jambi Ivory handles were certainly plentiful and are very important since timmemorial time.

The Awak-Awak is known there as Sampir.
