Balinese keris

Yes SJ, you're right, understood.

The value systems related to keris that are applied in Jawa are not applied in Bali, nor is anything similar applied.

When we consider these Javanese value systems related to the keris we need to take into consideration the effect of Sufism on the Central Javanese society as a whole, obviously these effects do not apply in Bali.

The major value systems related the keris that apply in Bali are outlined in Wiener, and to gain even a slight understanding of these systems her entire work on Balinese society should be studied, there is too much to grasp to be covered in brief Forum comments.
