Gustav,
The "Bugis cup" looks too wide for the hilt base, is it original and what should be the correct type of pendokok for this hilt?
Best regards

Jean, it's fewer then 1 and half mm to wide. It came with this pendokok, I suppose it would be possible to regard this form as one of correct possible pendokok forms for such keris.

On hilt there are no visible traces from another pendokok.

Best regards

Gustav, i do not believe that this is the appropriate pendokok form for a Pattani keris. I am sure that Shahrial or Kai Wee would have some good examples to show you.

David, please take a look at this website, its Dave Henkel's:

http://kerisarchipelago.150m.com/pattani&singora.htm

You will found some keris with similar bugis style pendokok.

Also this one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=keris+pattani

And this: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=pattani

Perhaps it's acceptable then Gustav. I'm certainly no expert on Pattani keris. Still a bit too large though...

The pendoko style can be found in N Peninsula kerises, but this particular specimen is too big for the hilt. There shd be minimal gap between the rim of the pendoko and the round base of the hilt.

Kai Wee, I know, this is not an ideal fit, yet when I do rectify the position of hilt and pendokok to get the gap equal on all sides, the gap staying is about 1 mm, not more.
