alameng raja

Hi Michael ,
Thanks for your comments and appreciating my simple post.
Last time i talk to the owner of the alameng ,he only told me about the gold on the sarung and hilt ( 18 karats ) ,the stone is indian emerald and diamonds.
He also told me that he obtain the weapon from Bima ( west nusa tenggara ).
Some of his collections are bugis and most of them are kerisses.
i saw many lombok keris in his display room ,but none of them are for sale and i am not allowed to take a picture in it.

Thanks.

The scabbard looks like it is alloyed with silver, not uncommon in that region of the world. Thank you for the close ups!

I believe testing will reveal that this dress is gilt over silver.

Alan, that is also a real possibility.

I also agree by this, I have a Bugis keris in similar fashion where the dress is gilt over silver.
Nice alamang!

Detlef

Then it is probably alloyed with silver, not uncommon as mentioned previously....
