Origine of Bugis Keris
Hello,
I have this Keris with a very nice ivory hilt, but I find the scabbard very unusual. I think the warangka isn't the original one because it seems to have been lengthened to fit the blade. The selut also seems more modern than the rest. I think it might be from Sumatra or Peninsular Malaysia, but I'd like to know if it's possible to have a more specific origin? |

Nice keris. Could you make a photo of the blade in the sheath looking down from the top so that we can see the fit? Thanks!

A picture looking down on the blade inserted in the wrongko would be very helpful.
Did you notice that there is an entity contained in the sorsoron on one side? |

Hello Séverin,
The wrongko could be from East Java/Madura, a seldom seen form. Here are a few examples taken from this old thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=madura Best regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 19th October 2025 at 04:12 PM. |

I'd be inclined to place the wrongko as Madura, the hilt I cannot say with any certainty, the blade as Madura/East Jawa.
