Can you please tell me if this is a Kris holder? If so, how old? Any additional information is appreciated?
Thank you. |

Well, i've never seen this little fellow before as a keris holder, but that doesn't really mean anything as i have seen a few rather unique figures employed for the job. I think you should have shown it with a keris in place. I would image it is held in place by the two parts of the beard. Clever design. I quite like it.

Whatever it is, it's rather recent!

I do not recognise the style as anything that I can place.
Yes, I agree it does appear to be rather recent. How tall is it? What is the distance from the base hole to the middle of the upper support? |

It's 18 inches from the bottom base to the top ear and 5 inches from the base of the holder to the beard which acts as a cradle.

Here is an additional picture. It doesn't look like it is a Keris cradle. However, I posted another cradle in my collection. Any thoughts on this one?
Thank you. |

The second one is typical Bali.
Here is a link to an academic paper that might be of interest, scroll down you'll find some good pics. https://www.mhsl.uab.edu/dt/2010m/castillo.pdf I guess the first one could operate as a keris holder, but I have no idea from where. |
