Indonesia Java Ancient Primitive Iron Ingot Money?

Old iron musket ball, maybe?

Personally, I think you could do a great display showing the life cycle of a keris, with that as the egg form...

Gentlemen, i see no supportable evidence that these objects have anything to do with keris. While i understand why Lew would raise the issue to begin with i think it is time to put this thread to rest unless someone is really able to make the connection. If we don't even talk about tombak on this forum then i don't see how we can entertain this subject.

I agree that they don't have anything to do with keris, except under the rubric of "keris-like-objects," which they aren't. That comment about them being keris eggs was meant as delayed April Fools' Day sarcasm.

Best,

I have moved this over to the regular forum at Lew's request. Frankly i don't think that these have anything to do with weapons, but maybe something will turn up over here.
