I certainly agree that the manner of dress can never assure the origin of a blade. Are you suggesting that there was never any keris forging centers in Lombok or that those centers if they did exist were only in Balinese communities existing in Lombok? |

"This is true, but from my experience they don't do it correctly and it is usually pretty easy to tell the difference." I agree with you as it is also with many newly made ones from Balinese people as they are working with a flex now to make the greneng and do the polishing. "Are you suggesting that there was never any keris forging centers in Lombok or that those centers if they did exist were only in Balinese communities existing in Lombok?" This is my assumption mostly based on the arabic derivation of the Sasak, but I have no proof for it - just an assumption. For any further going explanations I would be thankful. |
