Hi David,
my intention was only to show the natural black stripe of the wood. I believe the hilt is Madurese.

Okay....are you sure this stripe is natural. It looks inked or stained on in your photos, something that is rather commonly done to create this effect.

Yes, David, the dark stripe is natural. Consider that the colors in the pic are somewhat exaggerated: the stripe was in fact more brown than black, and the rest very light brown.

Thanks for the clarification Gio. Photos can often be deceiving.

when I saw the sor soran part of the blade, I thought the keris had a ''pesi ceblokan''. Correct me if I am wrong

I cannot answer that because i am unfamiliar with the term. Could you explain it further?

pesi ceblokan is a term to refer a pesi of keris that was made after the blade was completed. normal pesi is made together with the blade. some old blade has this pesi ceblokan (originally made by the maker), but in recent years I have seen old keris that has weak or broken pesi, has its pesi replaced by ceblokan technique, i.e. new pesi is fitted thru the gonjo and the sorsoran of the blade
