Very sophisticated indeed Kai Wee, thanks for showing this one. Does anyone else have examples from this island to show?

The embedded stone looks like Malachite to me.. Kamacite is a mineral, an alloy of iron and nickel, of meteoric origin..

Dear all,

My apologies, it has come to my attention that the hilt motif and the silver works may not be indigenous to Sumbawa. So please ignore what I mentioned in the 1st post.

Anyone has kerises that is attributed to Sumbawa? Perhaps it would be good to share some pictures and perhaps hear how the keris was attributed to Sumbawa?

Thanks!
