Looks very much like a real keris to me. Double naga?

I think so, but a full length pic would help.

Thank you HughChen.
I believe that we are looking at an East Javanese keris, or possibly Madurese. I had that thought that it might be current era, but I am now not so sure. To form any sort of defensible opinion on age I would need to handle this keris, however, it is a real keris and I believe the abstract figures are intended as two nagas. The dress is South Sumatera & appears to be recent. I am not able to form an opinion on whether this keris was put together in East Jawa, perhaps Surabaya, or whether the blade was taken to Sumatera & it was put together there. |

Thank you for reply, I think it looks weird and designed very modern. Last edited by HughChen; 26th August 2024 at 07:50 AM. |
