This is a very scarce item, seldom seen, and I have never previously seen a Bugis style one.
My guess is a family pusaka mounted as a keris. It is a Tomris, Dhapur Ngapes. Edit: --- In response to a private query I thought I'd better add this:- "Tomris" is the Ngoko term, Krama is "Dhuwaos", and when worn in the wangkingan fashion it is referred to as a "Wangwaosan". It should be noted that the alternate spelling of "Tomris" is "Tumris" Last edited by A. G. Maisey; 23rd December 2016 at 08:51 PM. Reason: clarification |
