closer look
and why do I think this one is unique, because eyes can be deceiving
you can look closely and you'll find nothing unusual, just plain old keris in not so good quality
but this one, most probably THE BLADE was made from WOOD, not metal. It is very light, and by light I mean very light wood. You will be surprised when you see it and then held it personally
now the story becoming murky, as the previous owner's son only said this was one of the pusaka owned by his late father and specially cared, and even oiled regularly
why making a keris from wood ? and why bother masking it to look like a metal ? spiritual reasons ?
why wasting effort to make specific dress for it ? why care for it if it's just a "toy"
any comments ?
