For the moment i will stick with "interesting".
Lelang, i think you will find that the use of the keris sajen as a talismanic object extends past the Mojopahit period as there are examples to be found through every century after to date, Though recent ones like Galvano's are obviously aimed at the collector market this probably wasn't the case with 16th or 17th century examples.
Galvano, i think many people look at keis as an ensemble. You may have noticed that when keris are posted on websites there is often a pic of the keris fully sheathed along with the others. This overall appearence of the sheathed blade is an important part of assessing the keris, so please don't disregard your sheath simply because it is new.

Ah, well "brilliant" is a very relative term. Next to a candle one might seem brillant, but in broad daylight...
I offer what i know...and sometimes what i only think i know. We are all learning here and hopefully sharing what we know is what we all do, even if it is not always right.
Your wrongko is really quite nice, i think. Beautiful wood in a Sandang Walikat form. This is a form usually meant for storing, though i believe it is also acceptable in some cases for daily wear and i have seen a few more extravagant example which were no doubt meant for wearing. All my talismanic keris use this sheath form, which i suppose makes sense since they are not made to be worn like regular keris are. If i am not mistaken you will find that this sheath, though appearing simple in form, is probably carved from a single piece a wood, which is no easy feat. Thanks for showing it.
