Btw, the blade is extraordinary sharp. All I can say is that the blade looks natural. On a fast view one might think, it is a snake. Even the pamor looks more like a feather or like a fossile than steel.
After a lot of work, the dress is just amazing, very dark with a reddish shine.
The overall picture with the hilt orientated in wrong direction is from the seller.

Hello Roland,

This is an unusual and genuinely old Bugis blade that deserves a dedicated thread for analysis IMHO. A bunch of more pics would be good, too...

The dapur will be a tough call, I guess. The Buginese name for the main pamor along the blade eludes me at the moment - Andi will probably be quicker to supply that. There seems to be a second pamor motif at the base of the blade, too.

BTW, did you apparently sharpened/polished the edges quite a bit, didn't you?

Regards,
Kai

Hi Roland,

Dear all

greetings, I am very struck to see the beauty of keris owned roland, and I hope one day I can bring it back to Indonesia and return it to the bugis land. Bugis call it pamornya kurissi, and our hollow part we call it teddo or piercings ,, we have the ancient book we call lontara bessi, our own bugis heirloom guide and I once gave a few pages translet to kai,

Hello La Pagaru,

thank you for your words. And if I give this Keris away some day, it would be my greatest wish, to give it back to Indonesia!
I added two pictures for you, one with the hilt and waranka. The second one shows the Keris in my living room. You can see, this truly is a special place. I see and treat this Keris with great respect.


Best wishes,
Roland
