This is why i asked Rick about the origin of the hanger he showed. I have seen photos of these used in the Jawa court, but not on Bugis Keris. I would be interested in seeing another Bugis sheath with one.

Thanks for explanation,

I like the fact that it’s an original repair made in his own environment
as long as it is original and not a recent made I will leave it as it is,
because It has become part of his history.

I have seen a most probably 19th century photo depicted Bugis Sumatran styled wearing of the keris by hanging it like a saber. I forgot where the photo was taken from, but I must say it was authentic.

Thanks for the response,

I can imagine wearing this way is more practical
