Gilded and painted Keris for viewing

OK, i did manage to find a couple of photos that i already took of this sheath. I will have to take some more to show the whole sheath and the whole hilt. You can see the the hilt has some of the same red paint as the sheath. The pommel is similarly painted. Not in as good condition as Gav's but i think this one might be just a bit older.

Yep. Nice too.

Any of these old Bali sunggingans are very, very collectable.

Another I secured recently, still to be posted to me, new or old I couldn't say but the wear looked honest enough without going into too much detail.

I'll submit more images when it arrives.

Thanks for posting the images David, I really enjoy looking at these pieces something the eyes can enjoy all day.

All the best Gav

PS guys, if you got em show them I would love to see more diverstity in painting or gilding.

Can anyone speak to the place of these painted sheaths culturally? Where these reserved for specific societal stations or could anyone own one?
