A graceful peninsula keris

Hi,

The hilt is of wood, which had been stained black, in Pattani tradition.

The blade is not bad, but the strong point is really the sheath and the hilt. They are a good example of the very high level of finesse achieved by the N Malayan craftsmen.

Hi Michael,

You've got to be kidding! The nice kerises that you have are more than a few...

I still remember the minang keris you last posted in the forum. That was a great beauty, all parts of it!
