Not sure what to make of it but handle is extremely well carved and ivory I think
Alan what do you think about this blade age origin and quality? Tha ks |
A pretty piece of work GP.
The hilt is not ivory, it is bone or deer antler, more likely to be bone I think. The "keris" is not in my opinion, a keris. It is a keris-like object where the form of a keris has been used as a canvas for decorative design. What is the blade material? It almost looks like a casting of some type. I have not seen anything precisely the same, but the pewter industry in Selangor, Malaysia has produced both small & large keris in pewter. If it is not Selangor it might be a Madura production. The hilt is current era Bali, not made as a keris hilt, but art or craft work made in the form of a keris hilt. It is pretty, but we are not looking at a keris here. |
