Oddity

Hullo everybody!

Hmmmm ..... looks like another 'he said' ..... 'she said' ..... 'they wrote' ..... 'I read' .....

For what it's worth, please bear in mind:

Kerises with blades around 40cm long were not rare among pre1600 Prbu-class of the Sunda.

The motif of the scabbard was typical. It represented a particular species of treefern indigenous to the highlands of Sunda.

As for the hilt, bear in mind that the Sunda, for hundreds of years, traded along the sealanes (which took in the north coast of Java) from Sumatera to the Nusa Tenggara.

..... apologies for the interruption ..... please continue .....

AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Best,
