Very nice kris indeed and looking original, hopefully other members will comment about its most probable origin.

Riau/Jambi. The proportions of base of blade of this keris are similar, and pendokok (of the same kind) was some longer time together with this blade and hilt.
The hilt is exceptionally nice of course, one could see a Kakatua's head in the scrollwork perhaps. |

Agree with the others, this hilt style is attributed to Jambi. Look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=jambi or here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=jambi or here where can find also the hint to the Kris Disc from Jensen: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=jambi
Very beautiful hilt and keris, congrats! Regards, Detlef |
