Default And a Bali keris for comment

And here a Bali keris which found its way to my collection a few month ago. Also this blade received a new stain.

Detlef, it is not that these keris you have shown are something less than good, I believe it is because they are something better than good. All the keris are good examples of their type & in good condition.

What is there to say except "Thank you for permitting us to see them".

Thank you Alan! I think it was more because I was showing the keris Kamardikan and the Central Java keris at the same time and these other keris went under a bit as a result. But it would have been nice to have received one or two comments on these other keris! But anyway, it was my enjoy to show them here.

Regards,
Detlef

Sorry Detlef, but i have to admit this one got past me. Not sure exactly how.
So allow me to just say "Thank you for permitting us to see them". LOL!
Seriously though, nice ensemble. I really enjoy the the use of alternating wood patterns in the dress.
Did you do the warangan yourself?
