Hello Hans,

Interesting silver work on the scabbard.
What style origin is it ?

As for the hilt.
Do you mean "hoorn" as in "hertshoorn" (= dutch for stag)

Ps. impressive piece, but maybe a silver uwer would be better matching ?

Best regards,
Willem

Can we ascertain that this is Balinese work?

The hilt and blade look rather recent (or reworked) to me.

Kai

This blade doesn't appear to be in "Bali polish". I was assuming this was recent work given an aged look, but i could be wrong. :shrug:

Yes, this is obviously a Bali-style keris. I was referring to the silverwork only though. I'd be interested wether these are traditional Balinese motifs. Workmanship looks fairly modern but I could be dead wrong... ;)

Kai

Yes, looks more like Jawa-style warangan done to resemble Bali-style. I seem to remember hints that warangan on Bali is nowadays done by Javanese/Madurese (or based on re-imported skills) - any new info on the current situation?

Kai
