Just found this keris. Blade length 20cm, blade width (at he largest point): 6 cm
The blade is very thin from base to end. Appreciate your comments, tq..Mykeris

Hello Mykeris,
The wooden hilt is in "Ganesha" style from Tegal (Java North Coast) and the blade could be either a real antiquity or a smart fake, I frankly don't know, but I hope that the price per gram was less than for gold

Regards

thanks Jean, when oiled, i could see some wayang figural forms on the blade. Theres more different figural forms on the other side of the blade. These forms cannot be seen without oiling it. .very thin blade. unfortunately I couldnt snap it, I am running out of battery. yes, I think its Javanese keris.

Many Hindu forms on the other side of the blade.

Imo the hilt "could" have some age... but the blade seems a nightmare (of course in my opinion)

this keris will be sent to the Malaysian Museum for further authentication and research as requested by one of its officials. The blade shows very strong hindu influence, hopefully its genuine.
