Definetely looks like a Makara now when you mention it. I didn't think about it because it's from Borneo. Also interesting with the fangs that resembles Visayan deity hilts.
But still puzzled why a Dayak would decorate a parang hilt with a Makara? Michael |

Galvano,
Welcome to the forum. Nice keris, but you should turn the ukiran (hilt) to the other side. |

Hi Galvano!
Killer Choora  ! One of the nicest I've ever seen, and it seems quite big too. Is the blade wootz? Can you post some detailed photos of the blade?

OK so its not so new a Dha
Hi all
Well actually this is my oldest piece. That is, the first serious weapon I bought and still one of my favourites and not seen on this forum or anywhere else too often. A Dha with a clipped 2 blade I think we called it. Did put it in about 2 years ago but nice to rephoto it, give it a polish and show it again. Awsome bit of blade construction in my opinion but the photos dont really show the changes in width and angles too well. Take my word for it then. Its good  Cheers Andy |

Bear in mind though, that the position of the hilt relative to the scabbard is a convention that may vary from area to area. For instance, Surakarta and Yogyakarta strictly observe the convention of the hilt being parallel to the scabbard and facing the short end of the crosspiece. Madura and Bali on the other hand, have their hilts either at an angle to the scabbard and in the direction of the short end of the crosspiece, or, as for Surakarta and Yogyakarta. As a matter of fact, I have seen kerises from Malaysia, where the hilts are as in the above picture, parallel to the scabbard and facing the long end of the cross piece. Even in the Moro kris, one can find the hilts parallel to the scabbard and facing either the short end or the long end of the crosspiece. |

recent purchase
A Kampilan. This one has a big chunky cross guard and a big wire knuckle / hard guard to boot.
I did some cleaning up, light etch and braided a few rattan bands. Some before and after photos. |
