That's an unusual keris. Almost like kebo tiki.

You haven't been in touch with your keris?! Quick, take it out and touch it, oil it, admire it, whatever.

Red face Dressed

It's all a bit 'Touristic' but the elements are done in a tasteful fashion .

Sipakatuo made a point. I've seen Balinese and Lombok kerisblades with a more javanese look. Wondering if I looked at a javanese keris in Bali or Lombok dress.
The knowledgeable collectors told me such kerisblades are not unusual in Bali and Lombok.
I think we are looking at a Lombok keris. And a very nice one too.
