Hi David,
In particular I am interested in gold covered Gonjo on Malay Keris. As images are scant and being and accessable museum I thought there might be images held by someone ![]() After viewing more I am sure other questions will arise. Thanks Gav |

Hard to be sure, but i have a feeling that the keris with the gold covered gonjo in that photo might well be a Sumatran keris.

The kris shown here was sold at auction a little while ago (not to me, alas), and I was most intrigued by the gold 'cage' around the ganja. Perhaps this is the right thread to throw it into?

Thanks for sharing, a beaut piece.
Any other examples out there or in particular, data on this aspect of art in the Keris culture of Malaysia or anything known about the example in the article presented in my opening post? Thanks Gavin |

Nice example Loedjoe and it certainly shows this practice was in existence for Peninsula keris....but i am still not sure that the original keris under discussion is from Malaysia.

There have been a few gold covered Gonjo from other regions within these pages but not too many. More would be interesting to study. Gav |
