Sometimes I prefer to keep the “original” colour of the thick-dark cirebon keris sheath, just to help me imagining of how people in the old days “felt” their kerises in their hands. As you see in my first picture (above) of black “walian” type of sheath with cirebonese topengan, and “kudhup kenanga” type of iras sheath. Looks more antique... They could be ‘chatoyant’ if repolished, probably.
