The embedded stone looks like Malachite to me.. Kamacite is a mineral, an alloy of iron and nickel, of meteoric origin..

Dear all,

My apologies, it has come to my attention that the hilt motif and the silver works may not be indigenous to Sumbawa. So please ignore what I mentioned in the 1st post.

Anyone has kerises that is attributed to Sumbawa? Perhaps it would be good to share some pictures and perhaps hear how the keris was attributed to Sumbawa?

Thanks!

Another keris Sumbawa luk 15. A very simple blade with rudimental double sogokan, but the shape of luk still nice. The blade must have some age.

New hilt (made from horn) and pendokok, used sarung, hornen buntut.
