Nice example Rick. I love when this ukiran form is well executed and pierced through. This seems like a nice middle quality keris that's been pretty well taken care of. I like it.

![]() Mendak (hilt ring) in Surakarta-styled Parijatha form. Let's see the sheath as well. The blade looks like Mataram period style. Let's see what others have to say, blade-wise. ![]() Last edited by Alam Shah; 8th November 2006 at 01:57 AM. Reason: add blade comment. |

You guys are a tough crowd.
![]() I wanted to concentrate on the heart of the matter; the blade. Pictures of the sheath tomorrow ... okay ? ![]() Don't eat all your popcorn before then. ![]() David, your collection is twice the size of mine; it might be a tough sell for my Lady to convince your Lady . ![]() ![]() I also got this and a 7 keris ploncon. You only turn 60 once you know .............. ![]() |

![]() ![]() I understand your wanting to concentrate on the blade and agree that it is, indeed, the heart of the matter, but i also like to view the keris first as an ensemble as i believe this is important to the overall appreciation of the keris and it's sociological context. It is the way the keris wuld first be seen in a public setting. It helps to put the keris in perspective. ![]() |

Enjoy those 11 years David.
![]() Life doesn't end at 60; it just gets shorter. ![]() Anyway, cloudy here today so here is the ensemble taken with flash. |
