Here are a couple of the old versions.

The following is the more common version. Note that the sheath has been recarved for the keris now encased. The correct fitting is between the parrell lines in the area bounded by the fish scale motif.

These pictures have been a little jazzed up in a photo program. The first piece has gold leaf as part of the work and both have been covered with some protective shellac which has darkened a little with age. It would take a painting restorer to bring them back to life without destroying the original work.

Ok guys what happened??? These are 640X480 and under190KB in size.
