MyKeris, not allowed a real camera for the second time? Handicapped in the taking? Did you take these photos then, on the sly, without the owners permission?

Nechesh, not as easy as we think, taking photos of certain pusaka of the 'orthodox' elderly Malay community needs long wait, the right time and moment and permission

Well MyKeris, i, for one, wouldn't imagine it would be easy at all to get permission to photograph the pusaka of anyone in the "orthodox" Malay community. I would think that if you did get permission though, they might at least let you use a real camera to take the picture.

I'm not sure you actually answered my question though.

Nechesh, what do you think of the keris?

I think that it is a very blurry blade, at least in your clandestine cell phone photos.

Frankly, i don't really feel comfortable discussing someone's pusaka if there is a possibility that they are unaware that it's image is now appearing on the internet. I don't know if this is the case, but the more you keep evading my questions, the more i tend to believe it is true.

TQ Nechesh dear, tq

Permission granted.

The blade is in a bad shape of maintenance -- rusted all over. It's ironic that a pusaka held in such high regard would be treated so badly. You might want to gently advise the lederly owners to have it cleaned.
