Palembang for comment
Keris worongko from Palembang.
The kemuning wood is newly made, palembang style. The ebony is old, just given general cleaning. Any comments if the ebony style also from Palembang? Is it just different carver style or other areas from Sumatra? Thank you |

I hope, members with more knowledge on Sumatran styles will respond, yet I suppose, the old wrongko comes more from direction Minangkabau.
The new wrongko is well done, wood grain is nice, at least on front side. |

Thank you Rasjid, IMO the nice blade with ganja ira seems either from South Sumatra or Northern Java, and the JD hilt with the slim waist is from Northern Java. Please also show us the bottom part of the gandar (buntut or not?). Other opinions are welcome!
 Best regards Jean |
