keris for comment

Hi guys ,

care to share your knowledge abt this keris and ivory ?

this is the latest item in my collection , i found it 3 months ago in real sad condition , no handle and the scabbard was totally broken.

so i took one of my ivory collection and attach it to this keris ,

the scabbard is old ladrang sumenep style. , and the pendok is new made , i order it because it's really hard to find the original maduran scabbard.

any comments ????

thanks

The hilt looks like from Madura. Although not traditional, the dress silver work looks wonderful.

I so love these carved ivory keris hilts. Beautiful.

Is that chevron pattern pamor traditional? Is is uncommon?
