[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2292348, member: 2844"]It is a souvenir from Bali. It is not a keris as such, but it resembles a keris. It is probably 1930s-50s. It is based on a 'keris jimat', a small keris worn for spiritual protection. The hilt represents Buta Nawasari, a benevolent demon. All of these souvenirs have the same type hilt. Unfortunately the carving of yours isn't very good.:sorry: Here in The Netherlands you can buy something like this for 10 euro, but I am sure you could ask more for it in the US.[/QUOTE]
