I was wondering if the had small Kerri's for children? I picked up a well made(I my opinion) one today. I couldn't get the pictures to load from my phone.
Thanks, Terry |

Do you mean a child's keris?
If so, you may want to check the search engine on this site. |

I think this might more correctly be considered a keris patrem. Could have been intended either for a woman or a child i suppose. |

sorry again, not very well made! How long is it? Maybe a patrem or jimat keris, maybe forged from an old blade? David is correct, a keris selit is a Malay dress keris. Regards, Detlef |

Gentleman, thank you for your expertise. I have always liked this weapon form but never held on to any. I have fixed the handle as suggested and does look more correct. I am a novice in indigenous people's weapons and appreciate your patience. The piece looked much better before I put wood gold on it. Blade is approximately 4 3/4 inches long. I thought the blade was very nice for how small it is.
Once again, thank you! Terry |

Hello,
From what I know keris for woman or a child is called patrem. Do you have any idea how to determine whether a patrem keris is made for a woman or a child? Attached is my patrem keris. It is 29 cm long. Thank you, Best regards, Joe |
