keris identification

zartane · 14th November 2007, 01:50 AM

hi to all, i got this keris (just the blade) and fitted it in its new hulu and sarung that i bought from a craft shop. my question is, what type of blade is it and is the hulu and sarung appropriate for this type of blade? thanks.

The blade looks very Malay (Malaysian) to me, and has some age with it. Your temporary dressing is fine except for the mendak that shouldnt be there. I guess if you want to dress it Malay, then you can fit the hilt with a matching pendokok. As I think the blade is Malay, its difficult to say what category of dapor your keris falls into. Awaiting from the experts comments on this...

Hmmm... the blade looks like a Malay Bugis Riau, Luk 7 piece to me.

The hulu and sarung are appropriate, but as mentioned... the mendak need to be changed to an appropriate type... either malay or bugis.

At the same time, maybe you could modify the hilt base, click [ here ].

I think the prize is good and right (if Brunei dollar is the same of Singapore dollar: are 10 euro). How do you pay for dress and sheat?
