Bali keris with Sunggingan at The Met

Yeah fair enough.

This brings me to a question. Let's use a Segaluh style keris as an example, simply because of how conspicuous they are.

We know that it is highly unlikely that even the oldest Segaluh keris was made during the time of Galuh. But does it indicate that it was most likely made in a particular place e.g. West Java?

I'm not sure if that question puts us into the "It depends on the appraisers belief" territory.
