Hi Danny and Toh Kai Wei

This Keris mainly found in Sumatra, so its a Keris Sumatra with Bugis characters (Bugis Sumatra). But dont be surprise if sometimes you found a Sumatra form in Sulawesi. Keris is one of export and import commodities and as a moving object you can expect it to be everywhere. Hundred years ago when Makassar was a big commercial port (after Malaka collapsed) people from everywhere in Nusantara came to Makassar and so Sumatran. They also participate and working as pandai Keris helping Tunipalanga Ulaweng Sombaya Ri Gowa producing Keris for his infantri department.

As for the ure (Pamor) at the bottom sor soran is Timpa Laja, and above is unclear, please clean it first and try to re-post it. There are many ure in Sulawesi that relate to 'Sisi'. Sisi is signs whether a Keris is Good or Bad.

Thanks

Andi
