Many thank's to Kai Wee, Alam and Rasdan for all the informations and pictures of beautiful examples of this region.

Here the pictures after the restore work at the sheat. Since I don't have had bone or ivory it was used translucent horn for the before white rings.
What do you think: is the form of the buntut correct?

I like it! Certainly a nice improvement over how you received the piece.

Very nice restoration works.. the translucent horn looks alright.. and the buntut looks ok..

Thank you David and Alam! Now I still need a pendokok in proper style.

Dear Mamat, seems to be a nice keris with unusual sheat form. I have no hunch from where it orginates. BTW, I think you will get more comments when you give it a own thread.

Regards,
Detlef

Detlef,

it looks really good!

(Only one thing. I looked at your keris... then at BluErf's keris... then at your keris again - and THEN : what when the second, missing collar wasn't a white one (and there was only white tape at hand)?!

But you know, it's spring and the first really warm Samedy night this year in my town...

).

Have you done some extra polish or just cleaned the sheath?

Sajen · 24th April 2010, 11:11 PM

Gustav,

the sheat has get some coats with shellac and polish between and as well at last. Look also this thread what shellac can do:

Maybe Kai Wee shall look if one of the collars of his keris is also from tape?

This indeed a great improvement. Very nice. You just need a proper Malay pendoko.
