Hello all,
This is my first post to the Keris Forum (I usually hang out over in the Ethnographic area). I recently picked up this Keris, rather cheaply, at a local auction. I am a complete novice when it comes to Keris and would greatly appreciate comments from more learned members.
From my readings, the form of the scabbard suggests a Bugis origin. The blade is rather thin and seems a little small for the scabbard. Are the blade and dress a recent marriage?
Cheers,
Russel
