This is a nice keris, but i don't think i would classify this blade as Bugis. What about it makes it Bugis for you?

I suppose this spelling goes back to the post: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=10218&page=3
Congratulations, a really nice blade, Mamat. Regarding the fittings: is the sampir new or just used and recently "married" to this blade? What would you say about the age of selut? Last edited by Gustav; 14th November 2009 at 11:40 PM. |

Even so this is clearly not a Bugis style blade. |

It's a B-KLO (Bugis Keris Like Object)!

 If it is actually old then the guy you got it from wasn't the original owner and it's origins don't necessarily have to be in West Sumbawa where it was found. As we all know, blades can travel over time. Either way i still maintain that this is not the style of blade that we see from the Bugis people, regardless of how it is dressed. It has far too many Javanese elements to it though i am not so sure it is from Java. I have absolutely no idea why i think it might be Palembang, but i will put that out there.
