dukun keris ended on ebay
Followed this odd item on ebay.
A Dukun/ shaman keris estimated Majapahit era ? Is this something serious, or just made for western eyes ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT Last edited by asomotif; 29th December 2010 at 01:18 AM. |

You cann't have serious questions about this, cann't you.
 It is even called a rencong.  I've a lot of fantasy, but i cann't make a thing about it.

Yes, it's an amusing object with nasty workmanship. However, I'm curious about the iron they use ... Does it look like old iron (from old kerises) being recycled, or does it look like new modern material being reworked?
