The Bali keris before warangan.
|
Also so bad that nobody wants to give a comment??
|
Detlef, it is not that these keris you have shown are something less than good, I believe it is because they are something better than good. All the keris are good examples of their type & in good condition.
What is there to say except "Thank you for permitting us to see them". |

Sorry Detlef, but i have to admit this one got past me. Not sure exactly how.
So allow me to just say "Thank you for permitting us to see them". LOL! ;) Seriously though, nice ensemble. I really enjoy the the use of alternating wood patterns in the dress. Did you do the warangan yourself? |

The warangan was done from a man in the Netherlands, interestingly not with arsenic but with realgar. :eek: Regards, Detlef |

It is such a lovely keris that I would love to have it if you ever get bored of it!
Nice warangan job too. Realgar seems to give a subtler stain it seems but even more alluring to my eyes. |

Hi
You stained it yourself using warangan? Orelse what did you use for staining if warangan is not available. I got similar blade which I want to try staining it with home vinegar. I have no access to warangan. |

No, it was stained by a man in the Netherlands with realgar warangan. My own attempt to etch with realgar was nor really successful. Regards, Detlef |
