These two are very good too. The sheath forms are top notch.

I have a piece in my collection which has baffled me for a while. It has features of a tajong, like elaborate crown, beard, and a more abstract anthropomorphic form. But instead of a regular tajong sheath, it was affixed to a coteng style sheath which was larger than usual. The blade is what my group of collectors here in Sg refer to as "Chenok" style, after the place the form is said to originate from.

Can your collector friends share their opinion on the origin of this keris pls? Tks

More pics, including one for comparison with other more regular coteng kerises.

Hi! I have shown the photo to a senior Keris collector and in his opinion, he feels that the the Hulu (handle) should be a Coteng one for the sheath. There are bigger Sheath Coteng.

Please see example..

Here is another example of Coteng Shield

The Coteng has various sizes and the rare one is as long as the Tajong..

This is another collector collection. Good example to see the different Coteng with different length and sizes.
