Execution keris panjang ? Age ??
Hello,
I'd like to show you this keris, The person who give me it told me it comes from Sumatra ( his grandfather worked there and took it back in 1920-1930 ) nobody knows if it's older or not. I'm not a specialist in keris at all, I made some research on internet and find it look like what they call an execution keris. (?...) It's a long keris: blade is 55cm long ( 21.6 inches), total length is 70cm (27,55 inches) The scabbard is just wood with rattan but I find the carving on the wrangka really nice. the blade is in ( not so ) bad conditions ( especially on one side cf pictures ) What do you think ? Thank you |
