Features of this keris.

Thanks Isreena, I like this piece a lot. I guess it's a personal thing.

The person who commissioned this piece had an eye for details, hence a well-made blade with nice fittings. Tayuman (ukiran) and Nagasari (warangka) wood are prized premium fittings (imo).

A luk 9 piece would look great too. The philosophy of the luk 9 could follow the 'The 9 Walis' (Wali 9 or Wali Songo) theme. Just a suggestion.

Paul's winning is no surprise given the super pieces in his collection! And the reason why my keris won was because Tengkurizan didn't put in any of his Bugis kerises!!
