Normally i always will prefer a "primitive" look over a
tight looking dress, but there is something i just dont like with this scabbard. Maybe it is the course appearance of the wood. The fitting is so so, the former owner did try to repair it with 2 component glue. Maybe i will try to get the repair undone and see if i can fix it in a better way. For now the blade has to stay in this house. Thnx for al the replays. |

Its all about perspective Danny:- do we wish to learn about the keris or do we wish create our own version of how it "should" be?
For some people, it is an expression of a society & it tells the story of those who had previously held it, for others it is something that needs to fit a pre-established form that is held in the mind of that person. There are many ways of considering the keris & the way that one person chooses to follow might not be the way that all choose to follow. |
