Isn't it though. :)
But the blade is even more remarkable to me. It is hard to get a good grasp of the size and weight of this beast from my photos. And supper sharp. You could probably easily chop...

Hi Rob. I completely agree with Detlef here. We just need to stop calling Balinese pengentas tiuk a "Balinese wedhung". It's not a matter of whether "some do and some don't". It is simply indorrect,...

I don't think that is the bowl that the opium would be smoked in. It is merely the stem that the bowl would be attached to, as in these other examples.

I think that feature you are calling antennae look more like probiscus in that postion, but who knows. AFAIK the Balinese kocet-kocetan is the only example of a keris hilt that depicts the insect...

Cleaned up nicely and i agree that i can see the lines as well.
This is an interesting find because i am fairly certain this is not Balinese (most likely Madurese) and if this is intended as a...
