Enquiry on keris motifs
Hi
Anyone has any idea how many types of Naga motifs/design are there in existence across the Malaya and Indonesia Archipelago? I can only think of 6. |

I believe you will find more specific styles than are included in that thread, but it's a start. Add more here if you find them.

I have this Naga in Malay dress. I have always wondered if it is Peninsular or an imported Java blade. Can we tell the difference? What I like about it is how the Naga's body limits itself to the sogokan. Is there a law or adat for this? Which is more common - this body form or the full blade length body?
The sarong has no buntut I so did not show the whole sheath to meet upload limits. Comments please. |

Pattani Naga
Dear Paul,
This is supposed to be a Pattani Naga. What is your opinion? |
