Try this link to that previous post. It is well worth checking out.I think you just left a letter off:

As is discussed in that thread, there is some question as to whether or not this is "officially" a keris. I would still put it in my own keris collection.

Even more so Mick's example in the linked thread.

There is another example of this type of "keris" at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco (albeit badly photographed and mis identified). There is an enlagement feature if you click onto the photo: http://search.famsf.org:8080/search.shtml?keywords=kris
Shiva is said to have three eyes, the third is generally depicted closed because when it opens, watch out!

Wooo... *drool* Now that's a real high-class keris pedang in envious condition!

As I was telling Dave, it made my keris pedang look like a scrappy mongrel.

I would certainly like to see it in its sheath.

Well, this sort of weapons are called keris pedang, so its both a pedang and a keris. It would qualify in either collector types' treasure trove.

You can see the sheath on Pauls keris page. It's the one labeled Sedang Walikat in the friend's section.
