Origin of the keris

Battara · 7th September 2006, 06:35 PM

Since I am not a camera buff (nor do I buff cameras

) I will comment on the keris at hand. I love the hilt of the first one - looks like bronze to me. the other one I may lean also toward new being treated - notice that the dapur is not affected but would have been if corroded by time. The blade is simply too clean IMHO, especially for truly corroded bronze (in the ground no less

).

Also, I wonder if the "princess" in the first hilt is a naga spirit.
