Looks a bit like a small brass drawwer handle that has been trimmed down and had a few decorations bashed into it.

Hello,
After 2 days of effort (1 to remove the handle and the "selut" securely attached by mastic and "resin"? and 1 to re-drill the handle partially obstructed by glue / resin). Here is the Keris with a more correct mendak.  It's an old copper mendak with traces of silver plating. I had a brand new silver-plated mendak but the diameter of the Pesi was too wide....

Personally, I find the parijoto copper mendak to look very pleasing on the ensemble.

Yes, it definitely looks better now. The pamor is more striking in this new photo. I like this keris.

It does look much better.
Something I am noticing: the 13 waves are very well executed, in the sense that they are strongly curving. I don't recall that I have read anything yet about strongly curving versus weakly curving luks. Or I might just have missed it... Are there any norms about the extent of the curvatures? Or might we just simply need to say the empu was very expert in executing the waves? Johan |
