I SELDOM POST HERE BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEGE OF THE KERIS COMPARED TO MANY OTHERS. I DO HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES OF STRANGE AND UNUSUAL KERIS AND HANDLES SO THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A FEW. I THOUGHT I WOULD DEVOTE THIS POST TO HANDLES ONLY FROM SUMATRA.
THESE TWO WERE IDENTIFIED AS "TAPAK KUDA" (HORSE FOOT) FROM SUMATRA. ITS HARD TO TELL FROM THE PICTURES BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE MADE OF HORN

. I HOPE I DO NOT POST PICTURES OF KERIS ALREADY POSTED ON THIS FORUM OR COVER GROUND THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TROD. COMMENTS WELCOME AND FEEL FREE TO ADD PICTURES OF EXAMPLES ,ENJOY
