Dear Usman
I also think this is a wonderful topic. While I see many books about the object that we call the keris, what it looks like how it is made how it is classified and so on, there is not very much information as to the role of the keris in a cultural context. Yes it could be a weapon but from the few references I have found its place in society was much greater. I would love to hear more on this topic
