No cigars yes, but do you suppose this in any way reinforces the link between Sumatra and the southern Philippines ?
Do we see any non martial applications of this type of style in any Sumatran art ?

Odd tang placement
Hi All,
It's a really nice looking keris but what strikes me as odd is that the tang appears to be off center to the axis of the thrust. Am I seeing something that isn't there? Sincerely, RobT |
