Some of the flashiest pieces from the just-concluded Lomba Estetika Keris di Jogya Gallery.

Nice bling-bling.
Was it an auction or exhibition? Michael |

Very fine work but not my cup of tea, will look nice after 100 or 200 years.... Do you know where these pieces were made?

Very nicely crafted modern work, but all that gold and ruby is a bit too ostentatious in places for my taste. Love the ivory though i do have certain questions about the sources for new ivory.
What is the purpose of the chain that is attached to the pendokok in the last example. I have never seen that before and wonder if there are any old, tradition examples of this. |

Post #13, is a new hybrid known as 'jangker'.. a combination of kujang and keris. It's kind of pretty.. In post #1, the first 3 pics, no. 290.. this piece had graced the cover of Pusaka Keris magazine and also featured in it..
