Punk Rocker's Keris
Hi Guys,
This really a modern keris. But I don't think not "a deconstructive concept" keris yet. This keris is especially designed by Gus Im (younger brother of former Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid) and or course, ornamented with "nose ring" and "tindhik" (gold pins in the blade) as if punk rocker, but made by Madurese keris maker. Many Gus Im's creation on keris, ultra modern. And with certain modern calculation, but also carefully calculate the past tradition during the making of the keris. Gus Im is a Kiai (cleric?) who like rock music, and modern science. Intelectual, but not a narrow-minded person. This keris was exhibited too in the Bentara Budaya Jakarta Keris Exhibition 2006... |

The hilt was especially designed for this keris too. The carving, and the "red" color. And even there is a one karat diamond above the nose ring. Really good diamond. I will close up the hilt, especially for you soon... |

This is the close up of the hilt you request... It was made only one piece, and specially designed by Gus Im. (He likes Bon Jovi and Axle Rose). Hope you'll enjoy this "rocker's hilt"... |
