Keris stand
My collection includes more than a 100 keris and other Asian edge weapons.
To be able to see them, I have made a panel for a selection of the small pieces. In addition I have two kris holder panels (4 pieces only), the large kris are spread in the entrance on an ancient sideboard. and the rest are stored in various places of my studyroom. I wish to have two kris stands where one can store vertically up to 5 or 6 krisses. As this is the kind of pieces that I cannot find locally, my intention was to make it myself. I looked on each of my numerous books on kris and asian edge weapons, but was not able to identify a nice kris stand for 5 to 6 krisses. I looked on internet and found some recently made pieces, in the House of Keris (Adni in Singapore) but panels and not keris stand. This is the only image I have found of a kris stand . I have seen many kris stands in Malaysia and Indonesia that were more attractives. Any idea where I could find a good exemple of nice kris stand ? Thanks for indicating me a direction of research.
