Interesting "wallhanger"

guys, this is what we called "keris koden"

koden = refers to kodi, a bundle of 20 items

in my opinion, keris koden is not true keris, it's just a keris-shaped objects, though it follows the most basic pakem of keris. That it why it was sold as tourist curio and the seller ordered a whole bunch in a bundle - hence the name of keris koden.

this type of keris is commonly bought to be used as necessary accessories in Traditional Javanese wedding dress for the groom. A friend once gave a similar specimen to me, and I jokingly named it Kanjeng Kyai Rencekan (rencekan means junk)

That is exactly why it lacked details and "feels" to it

regards
Donny
