Thick Ganja keris

Of course they do Jean. I totally agree.

But some of the people I have known during my lifetime who had unimpeachable integrity also lacked elegance.

Whereas some of the most elegant people I have known were amongst the most untrustworthy.

In appraising the feeling generated by a keris we call upon the experience we have had in appraising people, so it becomes almost entirely an understanding of the feeling that both the keris & the person generates in us, and this probably comes back to the socio-cultural base that we are working from.

Hello Alan,
I am glad that your share my aesthetical point of view and I agree with you that some ugly-looking people are or were quite irreproachable (De Gaulle for instance).

Alan,

Thank you for this.
I think there's an important lesson here.
