Tiger and the keris - do they connect?

[Jussi M.]

Greetings,

I´ve been searching the forum trying to find what kind of relationship does the tiger have with the keris but have not found much, next to nothing. This strikes me odd as one would expect that a such a powerful animal original to the area from where the keris sprang from would of have made it´s way to it?

Please could you advise me what is the relationship of these animals and the keris?

Thanks,

Jussi
