Nice Old Sumatran Keris For Comment

As i said i PM Lew, nice catch, especially at that price. Shows you can still find a bargain or two on ebay.

I am still curious about what appears to be a round indentation at the base of the kris. It reminds me a little of the finger impressions on keris picit, though it seems a bit less organic. Still, it seems intentional and i wonder what symbolic significance might be connected to it.
I look forward to seeing this one restored and better photographed.
