I've shown this keris before, but I just wanted to show some of the detail of the painting.

DAVID I WONDERED WHY I ALSO THOUGHT OF THAT DESIGN AS WOODY WOODPECKER. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MEMORY FROM MY YOUTH OF THE OLD HOT ROD DAYS. HERE IS SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED FROM OLD INDONESIAN DESIGNS THAT SURFACED IN CALIFORNIA.

Current era
Recently went to Solo and commision sunggingan for my Tombak.
The knife scabard done in Jakarta few years back, he is also from Solo. I hope the skill is not loss due to the fact now the younger generation do not learn the skill. |

I feel that the skills will be retained, Rasjid.
Its mostly the artists who do decorate wayang puppets who do the sunggingan scabbards, and I doubt that wayang is going to disappear any time soon. I'd be surprised if it wasn't still a course at the ASKI--- or whatever they call it now. |

Just came across this thread as I was reading up on sunggingan because of this keris so I thought to add some photo's here.

My personal piece, still waiting for the right blade... bought few years back. Very happy with this workmanship compared to my last two pictures.

Very nice Rasjid. I must say, though, that i am surprised the painting would be done before the blade is fitted. Seems it would be too easy to mess up that fine work while trying to do the fitting work.

Very nice Rasjid, my question is how you will decide what the right blade is?
Kind regards, Erik Quote:
