Ah yes, indeed, the wood is not kemuning. Thanks for pointing out the welded peksi. It looks like the case.

Oh, I had wondered about the peksi, but forgot to mention it.
Old Bugis "restored" in Java in would make a lot of sense. I see a lot of modern Javanese stuff from the same seller. Thank you all do much for your opinions. Thanks, Leif |

I am curious to hear what defines this as a Bugis blade for people. What characteristics of the blade make it specifically Bugis for you?

It has the aggressive lean of a Bugis type but the curve is not present that would make it, imo, a Sepokal form .
I'm not sure about the form of the blade in cross-section being particularly Buginese either . Any chance this could be old Madura work ? I'm just guessing by the way the pamor appears in the picture . |

I would also be very happy to hear people's definition of what constitutes Bugis. I'm new, I want to learn.
Regarding the cross section, I could try to take a picture, if it would help. Thanks, Leif |
