Hello Detlef,
I think no-one on the forum knows where this one originates. Probably only the maker knows. And with my little knowledge I think the maker is probably not indonesian. ![]() Best regards, Willem |

Personal taste is a funny thing.
For instance, I find Angelina Jolie repulsive, and possibly my favourite female movie star is Whoopi Goldberg. Like I said:- peculiar. I tend to look for, and to value qualities that indicate something is going on beneath the surface, and that is what I can see in this pendongkok. I neither particularly like, nor dislike this item under discussion, but when I consider the work that was involved in producing it, and the unique nature of its design, I must admit that I'm pretty impressed. Probably a lot of people didn't much like this particular design, or we would be more familiar with it, as there would be more of them around. |

i also think ol' blubber lips AJ is ugly. the latest fad of showing her legs confirms my opinion - she's also got ugly legs. and she ain't the spring chicken she likes to think she is.
whoopi ain't bad. her personality shows thru. i'd prefer going out with her to AJ. i'd like to see this item on an appropriate blade & grip, maybe it's personality will shine thru. |

Sorry David,
I am the third one who find AJ repulsive! ![]() ![]() Will ask my friend if he can take pictures with different keris sarungs, maybe Malay, Bugis and Sumatra to get an other impression! Regards, Detlef |

Thank you for the better picture.
I still think this is rather crudly made. It requires some workmanship, but it still feels like someone took the easy way to make a pendokok. Would like to see pcitures of this pendokok on a keris. I would also like some pictures of AJ's other leg. just for comparisson... ![]() ![]() |

Here some pictures like promised. In my opinion in most instances not really matching (hilt and sarung) but good enough to get an impression.
BTW, I have chosen my best match regarding where the pendokok is best matching. |

most likely not a sultan's keris but one from a person of wealth, oversheath is gilded, not pure gold. Here some pictures from the keris in original state. Regards, Detlef |
