Nice Sumatran Keris For Comment

A nice keris from the Terengganu, Northern Peninsula Malaysia.

The hilt is in the Anak Ayam Teleng form, typical of Terengganu style.
The matching hilt ring is made of turned brass with 6 petals, also typical of Terengganu styled.

The blade, a bugis-influenced sepokal blade with a hexagonal cross section.

The type of wood for the hilt, sheath and sheath's end piece cannot be confirmed. If you could provide clearer pictures later, it will be nice.

Overall, a lovely complete piece. Congratulations!
