True Jean, and this mix of historic association, and geographic location is a source of ongoing misunderstanding and confusion.

Most keris blades are classified in accordance with geographic point of origin, but the name of a geographic point of origin can also refer to an era. Many people choose to understand the classification name as an historic era, rather than as a location.
