Contemporary keris
posting this one for light discussion ...
and I'm also curious about the comment from you all about this keris this is real one, and not "keris - like object" ... only this one got some "modern touch" in it I bought it simply because it was interesting and may look nice on my desk. I believe this was once an older blade - perhaps not a good one, retouched, carved and plated with 18K gold (what a waste of gold  )the result is a rather fragile work of art, but looked nice bought it without dress, as the original dress that comes with this keris costs USD 350 (dress only), so I bought the blade only ... and only managed to fit a cheapo dress for now - doesnot matter, as I plan to display it in acrylic case without the sheath description : 1. Luk 7 keris 2. dhapur : kelabang sayuto (a million centipede) and I am not mistaken, this is the dhapur, NOT the pamor 3. tangguh : ?? 4. pamor : ngulit semangka / wos wutah (rather hard to discern) 5. nickname : devil's comb enjoy
