Default A Sumbawa keris kalawija

A keris from Sumbawa. The silver fittings with the twisted wire works are typical of the region, but not too gaudy. The hilt too, has motifs quite distinct from the Riau or Sulawesi Bugis. 15-waved blade, which seemed quite common in Sumbawa. Tough blade, with pretty tight adeg like forging lines.
