ummmm....OK gentlemen, we are had a nice little tour into off-topic land and i would like to see the conversation return to keris, unless folks feel we are done here.
Frankly i still don't feel i have ever had a completely satisfactory explanation of the purpose/function and/or societal placement of Passio Sumange (Toli-Toli). They have become very commonplace on newly made dress for keris i see in the marketplace, but i get the feeling that this is a rather new phenomenon that does this style of dress a bit of a disservice. Anyone have ideas on this?
