Sumatran Palembang / Minang ?

Hello Henri,

the pendak will have to be replaced

Do you mean the silver pendokok/selut? Looks like the original one to me - this somewhat basic style is quite often seen with the smaller keris Minang. I'd keep it!

Regards,
Kai

I agree if you are referring to the cupped mendak (doesn't really seem to be a pendokok or a selut. Doesn't look like it needs replacing to me.
The rattan wrapping seems interesting and unusual. Almost looks like a dayak style wrap.
