Kris but from where

Detlef, i would say there is a possibility the blade could be an from Bali. The pamor reminds me of Bali work and the blade surface is polished. But i would not argue with anyone who felt strongly that it was from Java. Do we know the blade length?
I agree that this is a bit of a fantasy dress form and not suitable for traditional wear, but it is pretty unique. At least i have never seen anyone hollow out a stage horn like this to serve as a sarung. It is an interesting, though non-tradtional piece.
