I just got the notification that I've won this very unusual keris sajen by a German auction. It's 17 cm long. I was described as "small African dagger"!

I don’t know what to think, but AFAIK keris sajen are not part of Bugis culture.

A rather recent jimat? I don't think it's for those who travel.

Laminated, yes, but it could have been made from an old tombak, or a pedang, or maybe even a keris.

It was very cheap so it's equal what it is, I'll keep it as curiosity.

Agreed.
Keris study is not all about royal level pieces. |
