A graceful peninsula keris

Likely to be Pattani, hypothesis is that it is an 'interpretation' of a Riau keris (dress-wise). Blade is definitely N. Malayan, and the general aesthetics of the dress as well (lanky proportions).

Hello BluErf,

nice keris. Is the handle from horn?

Hi,

The hilt is of wood, which had been stained black, in Pattani tradition.

The blade is not bad, but the strong point is really the sheath and the hilt. They are a good example of the very high level of finesse achieved by the N Malayan craftsmen.

Hi Michael,

You've got to be kidding! The nice kerises that you have are more than a few... :)

I still remember the minang keris you last posted in the forum. That was a great beauty, all parts of it!

Hi Kai Wee, it is indeed Pattani. Have seen it myself. :)however I like the dressing, a good replacement for coteng or tajong sheath. More pratical for a battle situation.
