I certainly wouldn't argue that this blade might be referred to as a sundang in some places, but sundang, it would seem, is a rather general term for a sword and refers also to the kris as well as...

This style of keris was made specifically for use by Brahman priests as far as i know. I have an excellent example of this type of blade that probably dates back to the 1930s. You can also find...

I agree Rick, i think some of them are more abstract vegetative forms. I see what you mean about that hilt, though it would be tough to know without handling it.

Rob, Jawa and Sumatran courts have shared much in common in the making of weapons for some time and the keris from the Palembang court took it's cues from Javanese styles. IMO this makara is very...

I agree with Rick (i'm such a suck-up :D ), I would say this pedang is Sumatran based on the hilt design. Nice looking sword.

Welcome Buwaya. These terms technically apply to the Indonesian keris, not it's Moro cousin, but since these blades are so similar in form we can get away with using them. You can see them more...
