Detlef,

That looks very good indeed! I only wonder why the pesi wasn't cleaned and stained completely as usually is done.

Hello Henk and Michel,
I think that he hold the keris by warangan at the peksi. I have seen this when someone stained a blade. This don't will be a problem, when I received the keris I will clean the peksi in lemon-acid.
Regards,
Detlef

Hello,
I get now the information why the peksi not cleaned ans stained. The handle have been so hard fixed to the peksi that the warangan process have been done with the handle and the handle wrapped with plasticfilm. Later it become more and more loose so that he can open it but too late fore the staining. He have been afraid to destroy the handle. But like I write before, it don't will be a problem to clean the peksi later.
Here a picture from the keris now.

Wow Sajen, that's really pretty. I don't think it's a big deal that the pesi didn't receive staining, but i would make sure that all the rust is removed.
Enjoy your new baby.

I am not a big fan of fossil mortar, but this one is definately one of the exceptions.

Very nice handle, and of course a great keris all together.

Love the pendok and the matching selut.

Gratuliere !

Willem

Thank's Willem,
it's the same to me, the most molar handles not very fine and crude carved.

All the best to you,
Detlef
