Bling your eyes out!

Great stuff! I love gold and ivory with good blades. Go ahead and bling my brains out!

I'm in Solo right now, and I'm a bit snarly that I missed this pameran. I've been tied up with family commitments and just couldn't make it.

In discussion with a very, very senior member of the keris community who did manage to get there, there was only one keris that he would have liked to own.

Lots of bling, but we all have different standards and desires. My friend identified only a single piece as top of his wants list, and it apparently had very little bling at all, it was just very good quality, old, and close to perfect --- a wee bit pricey too.

@Shahrial - yes, I heard from Teguh that Jimmy was in Yogya on Friday. I met up with Pak Beny though.

@Alan - G'day! Yes, a lot of bling, though there were some nice old pieces. I think more than the Keris for the World (or at least I perceived there were proportionately more old pieces). I liked a plain old Cirebon keris with a nice Rajamala hilt.

Here's a not so blingy piece, with a very unusual pamor.

This keris had a wrongko with unusual chatoyancy and pelet patterns.
