Hello Emmanuel,
beautiful Bali keris, special the handle. But like David I've never seen this guy before. Maybe a figural interpretation of the kocetan handles. |

Hello Emmanuel,
Welcome to the forum! I also think this is a later "devolution" of the kocet-kocetan hilt based on the common misunderstanding that it represents a horse... http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5909 The blade doesn't seem to be etched in Bali style - Lombok with a bit of Bugis influence? Regards, Kai |
