from private collection

[satsujinken]

Hi

just want to share some pictures belonged to my friend (courtesy of Rudi Oei), he lived in Medan and a true collector of Keris and other tosan aji

uploaded here with his permission


here we can see naga carving on an old keris, but this one done in different style from javanese naga, and somewhat the steel is more porous ??

and another keris, I will post more interesting keris here


@Alan, if you happen to drop by Medan, I can arrange meeting with him, surely one day won't be enough, his collections are incredible in terms of quality, but mostly Sumatran and Bugis keris
