Brekele, i am glad you were able to follow and understand Alan's detailed explanation, especially since it was in essence a longer and more detailed explanation of my own veiwpoint. Your English must be getting better.
BTW, though i didn't say it before, i also think this keris to be "worthy of collection" inspite of it's problems.

Your English must be getting better.

Dave, I just hope that my English is getting better, That's why I want always
to look/read at dictionary again. But honestly is hard. Because my head
full/mix up with 3 other languages beside Indonesian and Jawa languages.
And now Deutsch is even harder than English for me, 5 years I learn but
come up nothing.

Dave, thank you for hang out with me in last moment in this subject.
I wish someday we can met somewhere on beautiful Lombok Island, Bali or
Jawa .Wherever you want to chose those 3 Islands, and talk about

ROCK N' KRIS

and drink coconut's water.

Again, Thank you Dave.
BREKELE

Well, i am not convinced about the coconut water part, but it certainly is my dream to visit those islands for sure!
I have heard that English is the hardest language to learn for those not raised speaking it so i have much respect for your efforts. I am glad this forum has helped you get better at it.

In this blade I see a bearded man wearing a robe and a head cloth; he is in a position of bowing respectfully; his shadow before him , he is outlined in bright pamor on the upper right hand side of the blade.

This is fun !

Hmmm... I see a woman bending over wearing a head-dress (possibly Minang style) handling a baby, nappy change, perhaps... hmmm...

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way


Clouds---keris---what's the difference?

All in the mind.
