Keris from Lombok(?)
For sale a keris of undetermined origin, though considering the mix of components my best guess would be Lombok.
The blade is made of quite a few layers, resulting in a wonderful pamor. The ricikan have been neatly cut.
The wrongko is is a perfect fit. The style and materials confuse me, but Lombok is known for mixing elements from different places.
The ukiran is a bhuta nawasari made from a type of horn. I am not 100% convinced it was made as a keris handle. Perhaps it was originally fitted to a different weapon or implement.
The asking price for this piece is €350 (excluding shipping).
Payment is possible via Paypal (loading fees to be borne by the buyer) or bank transfer.
The item will be sent from the Netherlands.
