Thanks Alan
Very clear and logical. I never noticed the phallic shape of the Bali keris hilt until I had a spare that was not attached to a blade. This made it much more apparent to me. Another observation - When assembled the blade issues from the hilt much like the male seminal energy . Perhaps this too has some symbolism in adding to the potency of the male power of the keris blade? Maybe its taking things too far but it seems there is symbolism in every element of keris so worth sharing I thought.
