The greneng (ron dha) doesn't suggest it is Javanese. Close to Bali or Lombok to me. But I love this kind of sublime luks (waves).

Thanks for the better pics Galvano.
Marco, i don't know what you mean by "armonious". Could you explain? It is clear from the surface of this blade that it wasn't kept in a Balinese manner or the blade surface would be much smoother. I am leaning more towards Lombok where not all blades are polished. Of course it is in Javanese dress so perhaps it was in Jawa for a few years an had a bunch of Javanese washings. |

Dear Galvano,
I am not an expert but the peksi shows that this keris have some age. You have to consider the different climate in Indonesia but a corrosion like this need some time. Regards, sajen |
