Hi Detlef,
Thank you.
I've had several pades in the past, but I kept this 'Tawu' because of the typical Celebes 'Sangori' carved motif on top of the hilt (where the endcap usually is), which I...

Nice Timor swords Detlef,
But I'm more attracted to the Timorese 'Surik' kind of swords, from the 'Antoni' tribe.
And if they have an old VOC blade, than I can't resist them.
Kind regards, ...

Hi,
here's one I sold many years ago, which was a very nice (and dated) sword.
The total length was 775mm.
Horn handle with silver endcap, ferrule, handguard and chains. The shape in Javanese...

Hi Willem,
Thank you. I like the rattan version, the 'peurise awe', more from an artistic point of view. But that the handle and cushion are both still present, was the deciding factor for me...

(By order or for real use or as a gift).
What are the...

Thank you all for your replies!
What is bothering me, are the 'lines' or 'grains' on this specific area of the keris hilt, which you can see in the photo.
I don't find this on all of the...

Hi Detlef,
Congratulations!
Pretty rare to find a peurise 'Teumaga' with round knobs and one 'star' in the middle. Though the central knob in the middle looks more like a round knob with a kind...

Thank you for the Minang keris photos.

Hilt material
Hello,
I have a Buginese keris, but I'm not sure about the material of the hilt.
It looks like whalebone to me, but it looks like it has a dental nerve canel on top if the hilt?
Best wishes,...

Hello Ian,
thank you for adding your expertise on my moro kris. Good to now that the features probably tend towards Sulu, and the kris is about 160 years old.
Ok, I will add this...
