keris with Cirebon gading handle

Sajen · 27th June 2012, 01:24 AM

Hello,

I have just bought via ebay this keris: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140779165817...84.m1439.l2649
Not for the keris byself but mainly for the nice Cirebon (sea?) ivory handle.

Comments are very welcome,

Detlef

Lovely hilt, very fine carving!!

tunggulametung · 27th June 2012, 02:26 AM

Detlef, the sheath is not appropriate for the hilt

I know you didn't buy the blade, but it is nice in its simplicity.
If possible please post larger photo(s) with good focus on the hilt once you have it.
Congratulations with this nice addition!

Thank you Gene and Chandra!

I think the complete ensemble is a put-together, wrongko is Yogya style, handle and selut Cirebon and blade maybe Madura.

The real value is the handle in my opinion. Will post pictures when I have received the keris.

Regards,

Detlef

Hello Chandra, don't understand what you want to couch with the sentence!
