Jean, I've never seen a figural keris holder used in Jawa, and the only figural ones from Jawa that I have seen were quite large and in the form of people in Javanese dress --- like that one in post #12.
It is not impossible that this one of yours might be Jawa, but I must ask myself why it is that in over 40 years of doing the rounds in Jawa I've never seen a Jawa figural keris holder that had actually been made for sale in the open market. |

Hello Alan,
I also do not remember to have seen a kris stand in Java during my visits so this one should be a museum piece!  Its size is about the same as the one shown in post # 12. Regards |

I think no.3 is a recent production. I am not sure when duck faces came into vogue but is not very long ago.

Ouch, I just found that we already discussed this subject in the thread "Keris holder for comment" started on 23th June 2012 but I forgot it, sorry!

You're one up on me Jean, I don't remember previous discussion at all. To be honest, I very, very rarely go back and look at previous threads, it uses too much time, I just treat each thread as a new one, so I've probably repeated myself hundreds of times.

A duck with a red bill and a nose? I agree that the piece is not old but it was used and patinated before I got it, I would estimate that it was made about 20-30 years ago. If anybody has a similar piece to show us, I would be pleased to see it. Regards |

Thank you for your compliments Jean, but please don't spread the bumbu too thick.

I purchased this Balinese keris holder representing Twalen some 25 years ago from an Italian guy coming back from a voyage in the Far East. I know nothing more
