javanese keris kulture and sword

[Johan van Zyl]

So there you have it, ikkirosiki, now you already know you have a decent keris. There are points of comparison with my own Javanese keris, except for the gambar.

I did notice it was said Saparman was a Christian; I reckoned as he was living in and amongst the keris culture, I thought he perhaps could not have helped to become very knowledgeable about the keris. In some cultures in my country we have Christians who find it very difficult to distance themselves from an original religious tradition. But of course it is true that he might never have been a keris owner. He seemed to have been lovingly supported by his family.

Ikkirosiki, what kind of pendok does your scabbard have?
