A Cirebon coposition keris

[Henk]

Detlef,

The keris fits reasonable in the wrongko. However the wrongko was not made for this keris. The ukiran has as David noticed not the style of a Balinese ukiran wich is rather specific.

It is hard to tell where this kerisblade is from. Due to its elegance I lean to Java, but it could be a maduran blade as well. It is very tricky to pin a blade as this one in an area from only a picture. But I still wish to stay at my earlier remark, Keris Madura.

Henk,

thank's for your generous help. So all matching good except the pendok. Like I write in up from this thread I bought all parts of this keris separately and have been lucky that all falls to place. Wrongko and pendok I get in Surabaya and blade/hilt on Bali.
