Painted keris warangka

[Jean]

I am also very impressed by the high quality of this kris, especially the blade and the silver sampleng (pendok). And I agree with David that the blade would deserve a finely made kinatah.
However I feel that the cekah redut hilt (originally worn by soldiers) is too stiff and dull for this highly decorative piece, I whould rather select an ivory or silver togogan hilt...
Regards

Indeed. i intend to use this hulu for other keris. I actually uses a silver grantim for this keris instead.
