Detlef,

The keris fits reasonable in the wrongko. However the wrongko was not made for this keris. The ukiran has as David noticed not the style of a Balinese ukiran wich is rather specific.

It is hard to tell where this kerisblade is from. Due to its elegance I lean to Java, but it could be a maduran blade as well. It is very tricky to pin a blade as this one in an area from only a picture. But I still wish to stay at my earlier remark, Keris Madura.
