Terengganu Malela with inserted metal
This keris has both unusual features for a malela as well as some odd metal inserted at the "sorsoran".
It's not a replaced tang but something else. Maybe a piece of talismanic/blessed metal or any other ideas? Michael |

Oh, now that's very pretty.
 My guess would also be that there is talismanic intent here.

Hi Michael,
a real beauty! My guess is also that it is a talismanic insert or an old repair from an blowhole.  Congrats for this very nice keris, sajen |

Hi Michael,
Nice one ! The blade is very wel conserved. Maybe the ''insert'' is something like a tambal , a piece of a older or family blade? I.m just shouting something but this is what was on my mind  Danny |

Michael,
Very nice keris. Can you see the tang / ie. is the handle removable ? Best regards Willem |
