Keris exhibitions in Patani and Jogja

Green · 2nd August 2016, 08:30 PM

i've uploaded the pics of the keris exhibition into my flickr site (non commercial and free from advertisements)... here https://www.flickr.com/photos/357498...57671914196945

there are many interesting kerises particularly tajong and chenok/choteng, and a few with obvious mismatched parts and some blades look like they need a good cleaning.

Hello Green,
Thank you very much for the nice & detailed pics, a very interesting exhibition for the Malay kris lovers although the display could be better IMO.

Green a question on the spelling you have used:-

is it "chenok/choteng'

or "cenok/coteng" ?

Thanks.

Very interesting photos, thank you.

Wow! Much thanks, Green. A much more extensive & comprehensive set of photos than I would have expected, or hoped for. Almost as good as being there.

As you noted, some mismatches, some blades that could use better care, and as Jean noted, the method of display isn't particularly conducive to appreciating individual keris. That being said, overall quite a gathering. The whole definitely much greater than the sum of the parts.

Hi Green,

We need you to upload these pictures directly to this site please.

Hello Jose,

those pics are numerous and amount for over 130MB so batch processing will be needed to reduce bandwidth.

If Nik agrees though, it might be more productive to discuss especially noteworthy pieces in separate threads?

Regards,
Kai
