It is from a time period when Javanese and Balinese was very close.

This greneng does not fit within the major recognised Javanese greneng forms of any period.
It is very probably the work of a maker who was not influenced by a major keris classification. It might be of some assistance to see a well executed photograph of the entire keris. |

Hullo gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies. Battara: You may be correct, but I havent seen it on any Balinese/Lombok keris. Gustav: You may generally be confirming my suspicions. Alan: I agree with you to a certain extent. To date, I have seen several kerises with it (both straight and eloek blades). All were enviably well-executed.(Hence my interest in owning one for further investigation.) Please accept my sincere apologies; the above picture was the only one allowed me at the time. Once again, thank you all. Best, |

This Bali keris is close. Not sure exactly what you are looking for or why. Can you be more specific about your request?
