I would limit any restoration of the dress to a light cleaning of the pendok with 0000 steel wool and a polishing cloth, and good quality wax furniture polish on the wood.

The blade does appear to require the attention of a careful and experienced m'ranggi. Since you are in Switzerland, I would endorse Rick's advice :- no blade restoration.

The hilt appears to have a selut within the selut, and they are not of the same material/style.

I think that this keris has had another type / style of hilt.

the outher selut and pendok are obiously of the same making.
So I would not change that. But maybe indeed a cirebon ukiran would have been the original fitting

Nice wood grain indeed.

Hullo everybody,

Nice piece! Reminds me of a Naga Sasra by Handjani but in a more recent Tjirebon style with a strong Djawa influence.

Best,

Best,

I haven't a clue what you mean by this. Care to show some examples?
