Unusual shape Warangka?
Who can tell me more about the origin of this small Keris ?
The Bahari blade with specific "greneng" measured 22 cm/ 8.5 inches (not including the pesi) The demam grip has an old patina (but unfortunately have a crack) For me the Warangka has an unusual shape, but everything seems original fit together. all comments welcome, thanks in advance

thank you for your comments
it's maybe not everyone's choice, but I'm pleased to hear that it is a original Minangkabau form the typical form we see more often or some varieties of it, although they are seldom offered for sale. And in some way I was attracted to it because of its rarity Regards, |
