take a look at the incredible details of the contempory work being done in Bali on Alan's thread on the keris form of the Neka Museum in Ubud.
I have seen the thread by Alan. Not all my style, but really superb craftmanship.
So, you are right, this quality carving can indeed be new.
But what a pity that they than don't combine it with a new quality forged blade. Than it would be a contemporary piece of outstanding quality.
