Dear Jean,
My apologies. If I remember correctly, this Keris was auctioned off by Hermann Historica a couple of months ago. The image was saved from their website. I believe that this is still in compliance with the forum rules, because the keris has already been sold. My apologies, in case I have unknowingly breached any forum rules.
Besides my curiosity on the origin of this piece, I am considering whether it is worthwhile asking a mranggi to copy the wrongko design for a keris blade of mine, if it is a genuine old design. I actually quite like the aesthetics of the wrongko design. Any comments on the aesthetics of the wrongko design?
