Can you help …..?

Hullo everybody!

I need help in locating a keris/kris with fretwork similar to that shown in the picture attached. Please look at it carefully if you think you may be able to help.

Thank you.

Looks Balinese to me.

It is from a time period when Javanese and Balinese was very close.

This greneng does not fit within the major recognised Javanese greneng forms of any period.

It is very probably the work of a maker who was not influenced by a major keris classification.

It might be of some assistance to see a well executed photograph of the entire keris.

Hullo gentlemen,

Thank you for your replies.

Battara: You may be correct, but I haven’t seen it on any Balinese/Lombok keris.

Gustav: You may generally be confirming my suspicions.

Alan: I agree with you to a certain extent.
To date, I have seen several kerises with it (both straight and eloek blades). All were enviably well-executed.(Hence my interest in owning one for further investigation.)
Please accept my sincere apologies; the above picture was the only one allowed me at the time.

Once again, thank you all.

Best,

[David]

This Bali keris is close. Not sure exactly what you are looking for or why. Can you be more specific about your request?

[Amuk Murugul]

Hullo David,

Thank you for your reply.
Please refer to the same thread in the other room.
Thank you.

Best,
