Nice hilt! :) Not all Bali keris are big. I have one which is rather small and have seen other small ones.

Regards,

Detlef

Really a little jewel, Marco. I would say that it is much better in reality than in the pics. It seems as if it was originally painted. Or is it dirt ?
Wonderful hilt ! Congratulations

Wonderful hilt ! Congratulations
Thanks, Gianni
No, the hilt isn't painted.
Unfortunately my camera, is a very simple compact digital and so all the reliefs are flatten
