Thanks guys. I would have liked to have had the time to put together a display that was better designed, but i made due. When i arrived the case was already set like this so i went about trying to find a way to fit it together and make it look good. I also had a 2 more keris in a small case across the room and there was another local person who had a rather nice East Jawa keris that they loaned for the display, but i didn't get and photos of that. It really would have been nice if they had followed through and produced the labels they said they would, but with the festival already in full swing i guess my little display fell by the wayside. I was at the case for a couple of hours on Saturday and answered quite a few questions, but labels on each keris would have answered some of those questions without me. The only other keris i saw during the event was one carried by a Balinese dancer. I didn't see the blade, but it had a brass Bayu hilt.

Hey David, it is indeed a rare opportunity to see your kerises!

And I think that the display shows a good variation of the keris archetypes, including the Malay keris!

And I see some very drool-worthy kerises in the picture. You won't happen to be posting any close-ups of those, would you?

Well i don't think a display would be complete (not that this display is close to complete) without a Malay keris.

I sent you a PM Kai Wee.
