Minang Kerih

Hello Chandra,
very nice find. A similar keris is shown in Jensen Krisdisk, chapter 9.2, 17.
I have a similar keris - the buntut was also missing. I let restore it by buffalo horn but it become a little bit to small; sadly no good restauration. The blade from my one is very moore crude then yours. When I find time I will take some pictures.
Regards,
Detlef

Thanks Pak Detlef, I will manage to get that krisdisk on February as the seller will soon on travel. Sure it will be a good reference.

No hurry about the example from your collection Pak Detlef, but that will be nice to see one day, thank you.

I still have a buffalo horn if one day you decided to replace again, or for other keris set. This one I purchase over two years ago, not very big, but enough for 3-4 buntut it seems. Half of it, about 20 cm is usable (not hollow). Also if anybody else planning a horn buntut do pm me I'm willing to share (free).

Salam malam Pak Chandra, thank's a lot for this generous offer. The problem is that for place a new buntut it is necessay to cut down a little bit the gandar and then it is not enough place anymore for the wilah/blade.
Here the pictures fom my example.
Regards,
Detlef

Thanks Pak Detlef,

That sad about the gandar. You right rather too small seen from here. But I think it is okay that way, nothing is perfect anyway

. You still can check anytime about the horn material if you need it one day.

Thank you for your example, the sampir style is first time I saw, interesting variation. Also love the pendokok. Thanks again.
