Nice Balinese keris, Rick.
Balinese keris with complete
Ricikan put into old original Balinese scabbard and hilt. Good ironwork, isn't it ?
I still learning about historical of Bali. Since Bali have a first kingdom, till Majapahit kingdom went to Bali, escape from attackting by Demak Kingdom, and the relationship between Bali and Mataram Sultan Agung, Bugis and Malay. I hope, from histories of Bali, I can know more why the Balinese keris have a characteristic (Jawa : Pasikutan) like that ; longer and more wide than Javanese and Bugisan keris, made from good iron
Perhaps, any members can give me some input about it ?
Actualy, often I need to exchange my Javanese keris with one of Balinese keris
Bu I'm not yet.
