I have had this piece sitting aside for some time now and it has sparked a lot of interest with fellow collectors I speak to externally from the forum so I thought others would also like to view it.
Although my knowledge is very limited in comparrision to the knowledge base here, I know what I like and painted scabbard Keris are something I have always found very appealling and will continue to put these painted examples aside in my collections. Here is an example I favour very much, the scabbard is gilded and painted, the blade is unusual in form and the pamor is what I beleive to be expertly controlled. Comments and input is most welcome.

Do you think in a previous life the hilt would have been painted/gilded? Or is it more typical to have them left as it currently sits? Best regards Gav. |

In the Balinese ones I've seen the hilt seems to bear no relationship at all to the wrongko.
