Hello,

I would like to have your opinion on this bugis keris that I think comes from Sulawesi.

What do you think? ...

Hello,
Finally I succeed to separate the gandar and pendok. The glue was only on the upper part, at the junction with the wrangka.

So, the most suitable mendak is the n°4 (the pendok is yellow brass, but pale yellow).

It's mainly Timor and Molluks klewang I feel.
I seem to have read (but I don't know where) that on these islands the blades were imported from other islands and especially (but not only) Sulawesi.

Indeed, Sumatra seemed so obvious to me that I thought it had already been said.
I have Sumatran's pedang with a close shape , but without the hook tip and with a much more basic handle.

"Golok" Toraja ?

Hello,
I recently acquired this golok. I think Toraja origin because the work of the pamor and sheath are identical to those of the Penai.
I had never seen one before. Do you have information about...

For me it's possibly East Java, but I'm not sure because I've never seen this form of sheath and blade.

I agree with you, for me it's unlikely that the scabbard is mid-18th century. Being reasonable I would say that it dates from the 19th century.

For the Mendak, I have several old but what are the...

Inside the sheath the wood is lighter, but already a little orange. As with the majority of sheaths, I think polishing and waxing (or oil?) make the color of the wood darker and more intense.

Can the style of the sheath or blade of this keris indicate a time that reinforces or invalidates this date of "1821"?
