Gentlemen, thank you!

There is this blade in the National Museum of Denmark, EDb 16. Alan, we once argued, if it has one rod on one side, and two on the other. Difficult to see, because the blade...

Twisted rods

Dear Kerislovers,

today an interesting blade was auctioned. The sheath likely is not made for it. What are your thoughts about the origin of it - East Java, Bali, or Lombok?

Is there something...

I have a Sumatran Keris, which has an older wooden Pendokok-like object between blade and hilt. They have been together for some time, it is too small yet it embraces the Bungkul of hilt well, but...

Alan, thank you again!

I am sorry, but I don't believe the "Kekandikan" Wrongko from #6 and Wrongko #11 from my collection are made in Bali or Lombok, and in my opinion they are made in West Java...

Alan, thank you very much for your detailed response.

Yes, regarding my Keris from #11 - mixture of styles sounds much more reasonable then mixture of parts. A mixture of styles from today's...

Thank you, Wijaya34!

The middle one from previous post was given to MET in 1932, after owners death, so I doubt it also would have been put together by dealer from Jalan Ngagel Tama.

This particular combination from Krisdisk looks odd indeed, the Selut clearly doesn't fit the hilt. If something like that existed, it clearly embraced the whole base of hilt

Alan, thank you for your response!

There is a Keris in Jensen's Krisdisk, which I at the beginning thought is a bit strange, with parts of perhaps different age and provenance mixed together.

Some questions about Balinese hilt cup.

Sometimes we encounter a Selut/Mendak construction on Bali Keris, which consists of a stem and a cup. Some questions about it.

Is it an older style, which perhaps had an integrated ring, like...

It isn't a keris hilt, even if perhaps used as such at some time.

So, this is a different field (Burma, Siam), and no idea about rarity/value of this hilt in that context.

Of course the gangya is separate.
