I GUESS THIS POST SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE ETHNOGRAPHIC FORUM AS IT DOSEN'T FULFILL THE PROPER FORM OF A KERIS. THE BLADE IS PARMOR THE HANDLE IS A PROPER KERIS HANDLE CARVED SMALL FOR THE BLADE. THE WOOD IS SPLIT FROM RUST AND HAS QUITE A BIT OF AGE AS THIS SORT OF WOOD TAKES ON PATINA VERY SLOWLY SO I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST SOMETHING PUT TOGETHER FOR TOURISTS. THE BLADE IS 7 INCHES AND ITS 9.5 INCHES LONG TOTAL, THE BLADE IS THIN AND NOT MUCH THICKER IN THE CENTER AS IN MOST SPEAR BLADES. HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER HEARD OF THIS SO CALLED STINGRAY KERIS OR SEEN ONE ?
I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE POST CAN BE MOVED BY A MODERATOR THANKS OOOPS SOMEHOW DID A DOUBLE POST THANKS DAVID
