Keris info

Hi Mans
a very useful series of posts for a novice. I have uploaded some pictures of my first Keris purchase, described as late Mataram, from Central Jawa. It is a lovely piece to handle, both delicate and strong...strange combination of words I know but the best description I have.

Hi drdavid,

Congratulation on your first keris. A fine piece, indeed. I was contemplating to get this piece but now it already have a new owner.

Soon your collection will start to grow...

This piece looks elegant with its 'simplisitic' nature. The wrongko is extra nice and stronger with the entire sheath carved from a single piece of wood.

The blade is a beautiful old piece which fits harmoniously together.
