Actually, I rather like this scabbard. It has form, it has craftsmanship, it reflects previous ownership. It has personality.

I'm not really much interested inthis style of keris, its sort of a bit outside my field of study, but that study has taught me that to understand the keris we do not limit our research to just princely pieces.

So, from my perspective, this is a pretty nice sort of keris, & I'm guessing it might have a lot to say.
