Last year, I bought a wooden coteng with broken beak, that was attached to a pandai saras blade, without a sheath. I decided to send this to Madura for restoration, as well as to make a new sheath. I hereby attach pictures of the broken coteng in its original state.

I was so impressed by the restoration, that I got the same carver to make a brand new coteng with an old 9-luk pandai saras blade.

Alexis, i am a little confused. You are show two different keris blades here as well, i believe, what appears to be two different hilts as well.
If you are looking for feedback on the hilt with the silver selut and the wavy blade, the beak replacement looks fairly good (though the photos are not good enough to really be able to tell if the repair shows), but the silver work on the selut seems really poorly fitted. The sheath itself seems to me a correct form, but seems a bit off proportionately. That could just be the angle of the photography though. |
