As far as the attribution you have been given on this piece goes; we have a saying here; "buy the keris not the story".
We have a very large archive of keris related posts and there is a lot to be learned from doing a search by keyword there, and don't be shy about asking questions.  |
Thank you Rick, there's one thing about the forum that I've always wanted to say, which is that many contents (#1-#4) in one of your excellent pinned thread 'classics' have become invisible. I don't know the reason. This is a great pity for beginners like me.
