Keris for ID and comment

[T. Koch]

If I can ask another novice question regarding this keris: Is it typical for Madura-style keris to be without greneng and kembang kacang? If not geographic origin, what then decides whether these features be present or not?

Hope somebody has the time to help.


Best wishes, - Thor

It is typical for this form of blade to be without those features .
This is just one of many 'forms' that exist of the keris blade .

Does that help ?

In other words, there are many Madura keris that do indeed have both greneng and kembang kacang.

Thanks Rick, and David - your elaboration helps a lot - huge thanks to you too!

- That's why I'm for now, still only a looker at keris and not a collector!
