Hello Kai Wee,

like usual when you post pieces from your collection: very very nice. The pendok of the second keris remind me of the pendok of a keris from my collection where I suppose that it is chinese work as well.
Thank you very much for sharing this both keris with us.

Regards,

Detlef

Hi Sajen,

The pendok on your keris does look similar in motifs, but I can't tell for sure that it is Chinese work as well. In fact, for my keris, I could make that conclusion because of the silversmith maker's mark, which were in Chinese characters.

The keris is actually an anak alang, not a panjang.

I think it's still nice

but I meant to say: that I found the shape of the blade looks similar
to a panjang-blade?
