bali kris with bugis sheath or...?

Sajen · 13th June 2011, 01:59 PM

I think it is a Malay blade in original dress but with Bali handle and uwer. I have seen this keris as well and was very unsure about it since I have never seen something similar before. Maybe one of our Peninsula friends will be able to enlighten us.

I don't know why and maybe i'm completely wrong, but i get the feeling by this blade made in China.

Balinese ukiran and uwer. Sheath could be Bugis.

This style of blade and gonjo are something I have not seen before .

A Swiss Cheese gonjo ?!?

There have been some other keris from the same seller amongst others a very nice old Cirebon keris which went as well very high and quick. Like the others I haven't seen a blade like this before but my feeling tell me that this is a genuine old blade of maybe Peninsula origin. But I have been and still be very unsure about the quality of the blade since the naga sinuosity isn't very well executed in my humple opinion. But I am sure that the buyer know for what he give such a high price.
