Your kris is a typical Minangkabau piece from West Sumatra with a simple bahari style blade (straight, thick, and without pamor). The hilt is more stylized than usually. Regards |

Hi Henri, thats a very nice example , are the fittings silver ? Mine only has a brass collar (broken) as shown in the original pictures in my first post. Can you have a situation where two Keris can have the same quality blade and hilt but the fittings can vary greatly in value / cost ? Or are the more expensive fittings only placed on the better/best quality blades ? Kind Regards David |

Hi David
Yes , Silver fittings . Personally I privilege the overall look of the hilt + blade + sheath trying to match the whole lot . Like a costume from shoes to hat . If a piece of garment is not in relation with the others ... terrible ! That s from my French background a long time go . |
