very true...
And still I'm wondering; what about the pasarkeris?
I own a few touristic kerises; not the kind made out of sheet metal sold nowadays to tourists for 5 dollars but the kind sold to tourists sixty or seventy years ago.
The "woodwork" is "cheap" but the (rude) wilah itself is made with "real" pamor, pamor mlumah. I know, the main intention to make these keris was selling them to Dutch tourists and later on Dutch soldiers but (in mine opinion) we are we still talking about keris if we consider the way they were "fabricated"...
