Thanks Alan. Correct or not that is pretty much as i was understanding all this as well. I agree that it would be an interesting thing for someone with greater knowledge of this folklore to explore.

[QUOTE=Sajen;294450]Hello David, Where you see better photos of the hilt?/QUOTE]

I guess what i am trying to figure out here is if Si Mega and Kuda Sembrani refer to the SAME mythological flying horse or if the idea of a flying horse appears in more than one legend. My...

Alan, i wonder if you have any further feelings on this hilt now that better photos have been provided. Selut aside i don't believe i have ever seen anything like this on a Sumatran keris. It does...

Just to be clear i wasn't suggesting the style of this keris is Javanese. My comparison to Banten keris was simply to point out that many people look at those and mistake them for Balinese keris as...

It's a lovely blade, but i see nothing that would necessarily identify this keris as a keraton blade.
I believe this hilt is Cirebon, or at least North Jawa, not East Jawa. I can't tell much about...

All the videos i can find of the garamut drums being used in indigenous ritual dance contexts involve the larger variety. I still suspect these smaller ones arfe made for tourists. Watch the other...

As i already stated, from my understanding of kris/kalis evolution i personally don't see a kris blade of this style and form existing in the time that Lord Nelson was alive. Others may have a...

Well, this kris becomes more fascinating by the minute. I will be very intrigued to hear the results of the multispectral imaging Adam, so please do keep us informed.
I will say though that from my...

Thanks for the language lesson. The Javanese language is both rich and complex with its hierarchal levels of speech. Beyond that, do you know whether Si Mega a name used specifically for the flying...

Well, i think this is a lovely keris. I agree with Detlef that the wrongko and pendok are Yogyakarta, but i am not so sure on the blade, which is a bit confusing to me. It does seem like a nicely...

It certainly is a slit drum of some type. Most of the garamut that i have seen tend to be a bit larger than this one though, so this might be intended as a nicely carved trade version.

I agree, this is not gangya iras, just a really nice, tight fit. I also feel this could be Sulu, but don't really see the central fuller as a Malay influence. At least i have a kris which is clearly...

There are many people in the keris world who would consider this obvious forging flaw to be "complong" and a talismanic feature that increases the value of the keris. Is it the "Hand of God" or...

A lot of guessing going on here. I will say that it would be a pretty small shark's tooth if that is what it is. I'd also say that unless Hugh is willing to dissect this and remove all the pieces for...

So you wanted to know if this was a Sulawesi Bugis keris or a Sumatran Bugis keris? Well why didn't you just say so. LOL! ;)
I don't know... :D

I would not go so far as to say it doesn't belong to any keris culture just because we cannot absolutely identify who the figure represent. I do agree with Milandro though that this is a more recent,...
