New keris book about hilts

[Alam Shah]

I've got my copy. It's meant as a book of art and not a technical book on kris hilts. Mauro Magliani and Barbara Piovan's photography are excellent. The vivid clarity of the pieces looked as though I'm seeing the hilts in my hands. There's much to be learnt from the motifs and characteristics of the hilts. Many unique forms. Looking at it from an art perspective, a good book, imho. I love it.
