I believe that might depend entirely upon how the kris is oriented on the body and how it is drawn from the sheath.
Note that in these three cases at least the sheath is oriented in the stash with...

Hi Gavin.
I wouldn't say this is a very old keris, but has some age. Sorry i can't be more specific. The ricikan have not been very expertly formed. The greneng is most confusing to me. Besides...

Patrick, since this is not a book devoted to solely, or even mostly keris, i am transferring this to the Ethno Forum.
Just a reminder though, that no posts about prices or where to purchase this...

It looks similar to Mahesa Kathong with luk, but no kembang kacang. An interesting blade.
That said i can see absolutely no logic in the reversed hilt and sheath positioning.

Well, i've never seen the likes of that and, of course, my first question has to be "Why"?
Are you willing to show us the blade?

Great discovery!
I agree with Gavin and Milandro that the last blade is not an old Banten keris.
And as Gavin suggested, post the other blades to the Ethno Forum as we only discuss keris on this...

So i do believe we see enough examples of this "Rarung" (for want of a better name) hilts to confirm that it is a specific form of Bali hilt. But the question still remains in my mind when did this...

Well, the observation does perhaps force us to reassess the time frame, and possibly the location in which this keris was created.

In all the depictions of Lembuswana that i am seeing the tusks always seem pretty prominent. But i agree that this does not seem like a depiction of Ganesha.
It's a beautiful and unusual keris.

I'm afraid i'm with Milandro and Kai on this one. More likely an ancestor figure. I don't see any indication it could be an example of a kocet-kocetan hilt and i doubt it is even Balinese.
