Puzzling greneng works

That is cool and unusual Shahrial. Any chance we could see the whole blade?

Looks to me like somebody got carried away by his muse.

Yup, the whole blade please. That greneng is uncommon. But often we found that on sundang keris meant for high status person.

Thanks Shahrial. I like the overall look of this blade. The gandik area seems a bit unusal as well. Very interesting keris.

Hello Sharial,

I'm really looking forward to that day when a brother of this blade will show up or we get some other insights on it's provenance! Until then, it is a real puzzler...

Yeah... I was hoping that some of us, ... with new acquired knowledge and seen, reviewed more kerises... etc, might get additional info.

I started fresh... to let our new members comment accordingly... some might have seen something similar...etc.
