Restoration suggestion

[David]

Yes, the hilt is deeply and skillfully carved and has some motifs which, at least to my experience, aren't that common in this form. I would love to see some nice, sharp close-ups of it. I agree with Alan, keep it as a stand alone item, at least until the appropriate keris presents itself.

Hi


David, Sajen, Alan and Rick, thank you for your opinions.
I try summarize it below:
1. Change the mendak (must be).
2. Keep the warangka & Pendok (need to be clean & re polish ).
3. Change the hilt with surakarta planar with much darker color wood , I prefer Kayu tayuman or arang and keep donoriko style hilt (stand alone).

I will post pics of the hilt closely and the final result of the keris make over as soon as i get back to Indonesia (probably on Dec).

would you mind to give your opinion on my others keris please ?
its 4 of them not 2 or 3 as mentioned it before....my mistake sorry.
