child keris?

Mytribalworld · 18th November 2007, 04:33 PM

This week I came across a very small keris.
the total length is 22,5 cm the blade is only 15,5 cm long.

the blade ( not cleaned yet) has pamor and fits perfectly.

has anyone similar small examples? is it maybe a child keris?

Arjan.

Arjan, probably more likely a patrem, a keris meant for a woman. Try a search for patrem, we have talked about them in the past and there should be some posted examples.
