Hi zartane,
A nice piece you've got there.  Your is a Tajong. There are luk piece, as well. [ See example ], (courtesy of Malay Art Gallery).

A good resource by Dave Henkel: The Tajong: Keris of the North Peninsular Malays . Last edited by Alam Shah; 25th March 2007 at 04:22 AM. Reason: removed incorrect info ... |
