I will repeat publicly my private response to you:
SWEET!

Now, how about some close ups.

Hi David,
Will do, when the weather improves .

How about other examples ?
Anyone want to share ?

Rick your hit is the same family of this hit.
On the top of the hilt probably there is something like a naga. In the midle there is an ornament like old classic jawa bracelet for arm

Hi Marco,

Yeah, it's a Gerantiman hilt quite similar to yours .
The curlycue on the top of the hilt looks like an unfolding sprout to me .

Maybe someone knows the symbolism of this hilt style .

Anyway, I will take more pictures when/if the weather clears .

Dear Rick, is this keris also in Bali/Lombok Ligan families catagory?

Rick · 11th June 2008, 01:47 AM

Hi Brekele,
Does this keris have a parang type of blade configuration ?
On my example the edge of the greneng side of the keris is dull until about nine and a half inches from the point, whereas the other edge (gandik side) is sharp its whole length .

I believe you showed a Ligan in an earlier post where I asked for examples .

That is a lovely keris, Ligan or not .

Some close ups for David :
