OK, just for fun because things seem a bit slow around here, a bi-product of my Halloween lighting for my party. I walked out of my study into the hallway and thought, oh look, that's kind of interesting. So i pulled out the camera for a shot. Most of my friends wouldn't recognize this shadow, but i would imagine that would be different here...
![]() Too bad i don't know enough to write a book on the subject. This might make a nice cover. |

Great shot! And about time someone writes something more, even if it is a coffee-table book, about Malay kerises.

Well i'm sure that some of you might be wondering just what it is that creates such a beautiful shadow...
![]() ....and Kai Wee, i'd say if anyone here has access to beautiful Malay keris worthy of a nice "pin-up" coffee table book it's you...I'll have my agent call your agent and well do lunch... ![]() |

Outstanding piece!
On the positive side about the age (assuming it is not an antique, yet, whatever), it is good too see that such level of crafmentship is still available from contemporary artists. @ Alam, as I nowhere understand keris Melayu I might not be able to contribute on the material side but let see if I can list some 'expected points' from the view of somebody who wish to learn, I will surely be in touch. I wish the writing progressing well. |
