One of his steps is to add 100ml babon to "catalyse the reaction".
What is babon? Google isn't giving me any leads.

Yeah that does look quite Bugis-like, with what appears to be a figural hilt.

In the first relief, is much known about the social class / role of the persona holding the keris?

Alan - I'd like to confirm that what I'm seeing is correct because it's not so clear to my eyes.

Does the relief show a sheath that looks like a sandang walikat wrongko, and a pistol grip-shaped...

Interesting that the ada-ada ends at around the 2nd luk and continues with a single kruwingan. Is this a common ricikan?

Yeah I really them too. Then again I'm pretty partial to West Java/Sunda stuff.

Interestingly, this style of pendok can be seen in one of the earliest and detailed depictions of the keris we have...

Yeah fair enough.

This brings me to a question. Let's use a Segaluh style keris as an example, simply because of how conspicuous they are.

We know that it is highly unlikely that even the...

I agree Alan. I often wonder who they consult to do these kinds of appraisals. Then again perhaps consulting a person to do the tangguh thing might overcomplicate things for the keris-illiterate...

Yes David, the description says "Javanese or Sumatran (Banten Sultanate)". I guess Banten seems reasonable given the full ricikan and odo-odo. What do you think?

Here is another from the MET, bequested by arms collector George C. Stone in 1928. That hilt is amazing.

The original is in b&w, which I then ran through a colouriser.

Am I JB? Have I been summoned?

The "g" in bedog is a hard g (as in dog, fog, beg).

It is not a glottal stop as is often found in BI or Javanese pronunciations when a word ends in a k.

Bali keris with Sunggingan at The Met

This is a keris that struck my inexperienced eyes as superbly executed. I think I'd be awestruck if I were to see it in person.

It was donated by the Fletcher Fund in 1928, which I believe was a...

If you're interested to know more about this blade, I think it may be worth seeing if this is a Tuban style keris. It has a low gandhik and shallow blumbangan, which are features that might support...
