Shahrial, i think Rick understands that and that his remark may have been aimed at this statement above.
Welcome Rasjid. I certainly agree that it is important to keep the keris art alive. There are too many collectors who turn their noses up at new keris which i definitely think is a mistake. Even though the vast majority of my collection is older keris i still have a few "new kids" that just called to me. It is import that we continue to support and promote the art so that it survives and flourishes. But if you want to promote a specific artist or group of artists it becomes advertising and it would be best done in the swap forum.
BTW, it is indeed and interesting keris. I do find a kirin and odd choice though as if i am not mistaken it is a mythological beast from Japan and Korea.
