Ironically, this human-bomb still had enough time to take coffee in his room, before bringing his suitcase-bomb to JW Marriot hotel-restaurant -- at breakfast time, around 07.40 in the morning. (Pls...

Physically, it is not worth to be called as weapon. Too thin, although the 'sarung' or sheath looks like a small pedang-warangka -- made of "sana keling" wood (blackish wood, I don't know the English...

Yes, it is an interesting book. And I think, it is a need too, to search more 'spiritual meaning' of keris world, not only from function. But also from "words"...

Searching "words" on mysticism,...

If the stripe 'across' the sheath, across the fibre -- then it will be called as "kendhit". But I don't think there is a special term for the stripe down "pelet" (dark motif in timoho wood) or may be...

You are probably right, Sajen. I know last year my "dealer" Yogya-friend has sent more than 1.000 kerises and handles to Holland, and also some to Malaysia, during a keris exhibition there...

Yes, agree. Created as a talismanic. And for sure it was not made as a weapon... The sheath, IMHO not recent Maduran. Or could be Eastern Jawanese?

Dear Sajen,

Your first hilt, IMHO, is not Bugis hilt. It is Sumbawa hilt. Sumbawa has similar warangka as Bugis, but different hilt (cf "Keris di Lombok" book, by Lalu Djelenga)
