Unusual pamor
 
6 Attachment(s)
Hi All, any insight into this keris much appreciated.

Obviously Malay dress (sheath not that old, I think); old ivory Jawa demam hilt (inset eyes missing). Old Malay hilt cup.

Blade is slender and dainty and looks to me like the Javanese pamor lawe saukel; overall seems like a Javanese product. Blade is old, but has been well-fitted to the Malay-type sheath.

I would be grateful if anyone is willing to share their opinion on this one.

Cheers

Yes Adam, one of the Lawe Setukel variations, most likely East Jawa/Madura.

Sheath is From Terengganu, first half of 20th cent, likely second quarter.
Hilt - Minangkabau, Sumatra.
Pedongkok - likely Terengganu.
