I get very confused about the wrongkos on these pieces ; aren't the truncated ends more a general Malay feature ?
![]() Can anyone offer any general guidelines as to this ? |

Both Riau and Terengganu keris sheaths can have the 'clipped ends'. It's the execution and style that differentiates them, but frankly, sometimes, they are very very close.

Thanks Kai Wee, what style pendongkok should it have ?
The buntut has gone missing, correct ? Agreed, I like this keris, and the Terennganu (sp?) example also . ![]() Last edited by Rick; 13th March 2010 at 03:11 AM. |

Hi Rick and Kai wee.
Yes the buntut is missing , any restore tips ? To find a good old pendokok will be the next thing but i think it will be hard to find a good old one . Kai wee . Can u be more specific why it is a Riau keris , only the blade or the complete keris and does some one has a photo of a Riau keris with Toli toli ? The only thing i can tell about this keris tha it dit comer more than 6o years ago with a dutch gentlemen and he did purchase it in Sumatra. |
