The sari bulan sheath is one of the most beautifully done example that I have seen. The way the daun-daun (the 2 tips of the sheath) curves out and then back in, before stretching out to form the caping (the point in the top-middle part of the sheath) can be described as almost 'sensuous'.

And of course, the floral motif hilt, pendoko and blade are all first rate too!

Great great keris!

Yeah...what he said...

I remember really liking this one when you first posted it Shahrial. I think you have truly done it justice. Nice job!

Thank you both, Kai Wee and David.

Blu, you make the sheath sounds 'sexy'...

I like it very much too. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

But I stll don't know much about the blade... Perhaps in time, I would identify it accordingly.

You mean you don't find it 'sexy' with all those killer curves?

Oh yes, you have a "makan mata" full keris now.
