Thanks Bill. It would still be helpful to have one photo showing the full keris in order to get a better feel for the Pawakan, the over all impression of the blade.

if this is a painting I'd guess we can categorize it as 'pop art'... my opinion only.

A very decorative blade anyway, I will check if I can find the pics of the similar blades which I mentioned. Regarding the traces of kinatah on the ganja, I cannot say for this piece but I have found that it is often a trick used by some sellers for enhancing the value of the blades.

While i would not myself consider "re-doing" the gold work Bill, the one thing i might do to this ensemble if it were mine would be to fix the bad glue job on the sheath. Should not be too difficult a job. Last edited by David; 20th December 2018 at 03:45 PM. |

David, the pictures are from my archives for insurance. I just found the full blade. Sorry it is low resolution but the only blade I have found |

Thanks Bill. That is good enough to give us an over all view of the dhapur.
