Goldwork on Keris
Hey Mick,
The keris you have posted are incredible examples of sumptuous metalwork on keris's. Both the blades and the gold application are breath-taking displaying a combination of high carot thick gold tooled under the hands of an artisan creates a stunning visual effect. The lure of gold in contrast to the metallurgy of steel coupled with the designs from a culture create a visual splendour for the eye that transcends the boundry's of nations.
Am not a student of the Keris but appreciate a beautiful object. Thanks for posting the pics of your keris's.
