I said it was Bugis using an uneducated guess - the information you provide here is very enlightening! It seems that this keris has become even more interesting. I will research the rattan suggestion - thanks again. Dan |

Hello Dan,
nice Keris, congrats! Agree with Gustav that this keris is maybe from South/Central Sumatra and maybe a Minang keris. Agree with you that there was a buntut at the end of the sheath. A restauration of the sheath is not easy but possible. Regards, Detlef |

The hilt is Bugis but it may have been replaced. See a similar wrongko with the typical long neck (the bottom stem was probably replaced).

Yes, remarkably similar. I, too, noticed the difference in the bottom stem and guessed that it had been replaced at one time. Thanks! |

This is how the stem of your sheath most probably looked like, Dan. I also don't think it is a replacement.
