Any comments?

Hello Erik,

most probably Madura. I've bought it in Surabaya some years ago. I have no idea how old this blade is. But I think when it will be a recent blade they will give also a real keris sarung.

This blade is not "my cup of tea" although of course I have never seen a curious blade like this before.

But the handle and sheath are very lovely, imho.

I understand Willem, to each there own. For me i'd say it's right up my alley. I think this is a highly talismanic piece and for some reason i don't think it is a patrem in the sense of a keris for a woman. I think this was possibly used as a dukun's keris, but that is nothing i could prove, merely a hunch and pure conjecture.

I also like the dress. I've never seen anything quite like it and wonder if it's not perhaps a form meant for tombak, but it seems to suit this keris well.

Hi David,

this is a good suggestion.

To the idea that it is a talismanic pice I don't come until now.
