My avatar is an old Wayang Golek puppet. I had to restore the clothing (it was worn). I have a small collection of these puppets (mainly monsters and clowns), but I especially like this one because it wears a keris.

And no.....it doesn't resemble me

These are absolutely spine tingling items! God only knows what the execution technique is with such a bizzare knife, throat slitting I guess?
I bet they work as a deterant!!!

Great thread !!! It is often difficult to see what the various Avatars are, or if they are only a bit of the item, what the whole looks like!
Mine is an Omani Khanjar from around the 1960s. Due to a typo my calling card is not spelt correctly, but as it is also used elsewhere, I have decided to leave it as is.
Regards Stuart
