Minang Kerih

tunggulametung · 16th January 2009, 02:08 PM

Hello guys,

I'm new to this.
I recently acquire a Minang kerih without pendokok and buntut. A 'standard' 3 luk 21 cm blade. Crude finish, but love at the first sight, what can I say?

Anybody has a twin of this kerih sheath? I wanted to restore the buntut but am not sure about the appropriate shape for such sampir. Also, any recommendation for the material? Wood, buffalo horn, ivory? And is there anybody know where to find Minang pendokok or to commision one? Any artist still active in Minangkabau area?

Thanks
