Keris with elephant-headed blade.

[Athanase]

Hello,

I'm reviving this thread because I finally managed to remove the handle using a heat gun.
The blade is 46cm long.

There are remnants of gold Kinatha on the top of the gonjo, but on the sides as well, you can see that originally there were lozenges, triangles, and plant motifs.

I haven't been able to remove the base of the Palembang-style pendokok. The copper is very thin, glued with resin. The problem is that once the resin is hot and melted, the metal is so thin and flexible that you can't pull it off without crushing it against the Pesi, thus jamming it.

The handle is well-proportioned for the blade, but I find its style more Javanese than Balinese (unlike the blade).
