Very nice Anthony, but do you think that perhaps a nice East Jawa or North Coast mendak might suit better?

Was thinking the same. Can i assume this keris was made by a Balinese pande? If so it was an interesting choice to go with this dress form, but since you have a proper mendhak would create a better look IMHO.

Hi David

Greeting.

It is made by an Indonesian smith, not pande. This is an East Java keris which I believed. I have ask him to forge a copy of the existing antique piece which i saw on the net.

OK. It just had a somewhat Balinese look to the execution. I don't know what you mean by an "Indonesian smith" though. I mean, a Balinese pande would technically be an Indonesian smith as well. So the smith is Javanese then?

The smith is not a Balinese. :D
