A composed Malay keris; is it matching?

Hello Detlef,

I hope that it is to seen that the style is so similar that it may be possible that it have been the same artist.

Yes, that's also a nice keris!

However, if you look closely at the embossing work as well as the date engraving, there are also obvious differences. I doubt that we can trace this back to the same workshop much less the same artisan despite the similar date applied.

Regards,
Kai
