Dear forum ,

i found this keris in sumbawa ,the blade and warangka seems like buginesse to me.
but the hilt ( made of buffalo horn ) doesn't give me any idea about its style and origin.
i hope you (forum) can help me to recognizing it.
thanks for watching.
regards,

ganja iras

I believe that some people will say that it is a gana hilt but in my opinion it is just a hilt made from a piece of deer horn and the further owner of the keris just use the natural form for a hilt. Others may have other opinions. Nice hilt BTW.

Looks like an under-developed antler. Very cool and I love the way it's been used here. It performs wonderfully as a keris handle!

Thanks for sharing!


All the best, - Thor
