Hello,

This keris of my collection is one of those has the blade seems to me the oldest. The blade is carved as if she subjected to numerous arcenic bath. When I received this keris, the blade was very rusty. I haven't dared to clean more fear of damaging it.

From the style of the sheath and the handle I deduced that keris was from East Java. The handle is ivory, Mendak in bronze (or brass?) And the blade is 37cm. I have no pesi picture because I don't been able to remove the handle. I was afraid of breaking it.

Thank you for all your comment.
