Taming Sari

It is believed to have been wielded by the legendary Malaccan warrior Hang Tuah, and is fabled to grant physical invulnerability to its wielder.

The Malaccan admiral Hang Tuah eventually won it in a duel to the death after which Singhavikramavardhana, the king of Majapahit presented the weapon to the victor.

[5] Later when Hang Tuah failed to bring back the princess from Mount Ledang, he gave the kris to Tun Mamat to be returned to Sultan Mahmud Shah.

The Kris Taming Sari is said to have mystical powers such as hovering in the air during times of crisis or leaping out of its sheathe to fight on behalf of its wielder.

Together with Datuk Shahbandar Uda Kediti (the territorial chief of Kerian), Sultan Abdullah (the reigning Perak monarch of the time) and Menteri Paduka Ngah Ibrahim (the administrator of tin-rich Larut), Laksamana Mohd Amin was banished to the Seychelles.
