The "woodwork" is "cheap" but the (rude) wilah itself is made with "real" pamor, pamor mlumah. I know, the main intention to make these keris was selling them to Dutch tourists and later on Dutch soldiers but (in mine opinion) we are we still talking about keris if we consider the way they were "fabricated"...  |
Like this example Sjors ?
No Gonjo (missing), old worn blade ?
IMO definitely keris .
