[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 296550, member: 2844"]Sorry, can't read Jawi. In Indonesia Jawi is mostly used for Islamic texts. Regular Javanese is written in Kawi or in Latin script. But I think this was made in Kelantan, just on the other side of the Malay peninsula from you. The mark is probably a maker's mark. The keris is Malay in style, it isn't sheathed by the way, you can see the waves, which means it is just the blade. The 'burung' or Garuda hilt is a popular hilt in Malaysia, but who am I telling.:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
