A giant Pattani keris sari bulan

21.5inch overall. Blade was source of some controversy - some thought it was from Pattani, others thought it was Terengganu. I'm inclined to go with Pattani because the blade's wave is not that flowing, almost a bit awkward, and the perabots lack the characteristic 'fineness' of Terengganu kerises.

I love the figuration on the sampir, which is made from ketengga wood.

The pekaka hilt is large and full. I love it too, sitting nicely on the impressive pendoko.

The blade is old, and everything else is new.

Since it is a pekaka hilt, technically should be a chirp, or whatever is the word that describes a kingfisher's call. Cackle? Caw?
