Hi Michel,
That state keris, Tatarapa Sangajikai or Samparaja, is from Bima, East Sumbawa. Although looks similar, the form is different. The hilt, hilt cup, sheath's crosspiece, shaft and end-piece are different.. decorations and design are more elaborate.. the influence we can see in Central Sumatra in a simplier form, imho.

How anyone had the patience to accomplish this task as well as how they actually accomplished it is beyond me.

Hello Mick,

just beautiful!
