Hello,

I picked up these 3 Keris handle in Bali. The center one is made of metal, the other 2 are wood. The one on the right is made of a very tight heavy wood of some sort whereas the first one is made of a lighter wood but has a wonderful 3 headed elephant face on each side. Can you tell me about the quality of these pieces and how much would they generally fetch for? I wanted to see how I did in my purchase. Thanks!

Now, now Apolaki, you have been around long enough to know that we do not do appraisals on these forums. It is against the rules. :)
Some close-ups on the individual hilts would help in assessing this pieces. They don't appear too old to me, but seem fairly well executed. I always like a ganesha hilts. :)
