Tridacna hilted Keris choices

[Sajen]

Just want to add that the blades can come also from the Palembang area in South Sumatra. I am unsure by this and think that others will know it exactly.

The 2 hilts are beautiful. I reckon of Sumatran origin from the hilt form. The blades could be Sumatran as well.

Palembang or Pesisir sheath form (similar to the Banten sheath) should looks fitting for these 2 blades. A bugis or lotus cup form, should look appropriate for these ensemble. Again, if you feel bored with these, do let me know..

You, and the rest of us Shahrial .

I do wonder about the fit in the wrongkos; either they are enlarged by use and are pretty old , or they were matched to corresponding sarongs; I do not know .

The fit of the one wilah in the sarong that you show must be very old if it is original to this keris as it sits so deep .
