Keris Pedang
I just got it last week and thought to showcase to fellow collectors/members.
Unsure about the era of make, maybe late 19th century.
Keris Pedang Bali Lurus Ulu Kusia Tandok where hulu is made of buffalo horn, and depicts a figurine called Kusia; a locust like insect. The pamor pattern are arranged in the mlumah technique, of the kulit semangko. It is said to be used by warriors but this keris pedang is slim, not sure the purpose for it's make.
