I certainly don't consider myself to have expertise (just enthusiasm) but try to contribute observations to help keep the board lively. It is very exciting to see a new form posted that is one of a...

This seems to be an odd one. The hilt is clearly the same deity/monster/animal attributed as Bicol elsewhere on this forum, however it has a chisel grind and a scabbard design that is reminiscent of...

While a little prickly, I really do appreciate the divergent views and perspectives and the time taken to share them.

Balinese keris advice

Here are two more examples. I agree with the sentiment of Athanase (shared on his similar alamang post), these "Show me ..." posts are very helpful reference spots. They are also low hanging fruit...
