Bali keris ?
Another recently purchased keris. It came dressed up in a Djogja sarong with a new Sandang walikat but I was puzzled by it as my first impression told me this is an old Bali blade fitted in a wrong sarong. The blade is shiny / smooth which could indicate its Balinese origin however the sorsoran is different and so it might be misleading? The peksi showing wear and tear and is tall and sturdy. In the meantime I found a fitting Balinese dress but maybe I have to undress it once more?
Size of the blade: 36,5 cm ( without peksi).
The pamor is very clear and a slewah type: one side showing Lar gangisr and the other Ulur lulut. Correct me if I am wrong.
The Kembang Kacang is bulging but not welded afterwards ( pamor visible)
The strange cup shaped mendak ( or is it a selut?) with a few old inten is a question mark and might be Sumatran?
