Hi Kai Wee,
I haven't seen a Keris like that before.
It's also interesting with the protrusions at the lower part of the sampir.
The carvings on the hilt (Topeng?) and the "Batman ears".
Some claims this hilt to be Durga.
Maybe that's why the face carvings doesn't show eyes, nose etc. as expected on other hilts with this amount of carved motifs?
Do you know for sure that it's from off-Palembang?
Thanks for sharing,
Michael
