Very interesting kris from Banjamasin, 1311 in Hijra calendar is equivalent to about 1894 if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for the translation Green. Will see if I can post better images of the section missing to see if we can add to it.

Jean,

Thank you for the nice comment and date conversion. Do we know how a holy man may have used this Keris or just part of their formal dress?
