Bali keris restored

[Tatyana Dianova]

Here is an old Bali keris that I have restored. It had thick layer of black rust, barbarically cleaned on some places with a large file.
Mr. Alan Maisey has given me a splendid advice on blade cleaning and polishing – thank you Alan very much! I have followed it closely, first cleaning the blade from rust. It is interesting that on this step the golden inlay appeared.
