Here's another keris. I don't know who the artist is, but the style of the painting looks positively mid-1800s, Pre-Raphaelite.

Hello,
There is a scarce variation of the flintlock mechanism called the Russian style lock. I will post photos of it, once I'm back from my (much deserved) vacation.

Thank you! The blade is definitely pedang, but the hilt is atypical, although it does maintain a stylized Lion [?] head as a pommel. What is the significance of the Lion figure in Javanese culture?...
