Another step closer to completion. A unique one of a kind masterpiece coming soon to the JoFe Collection. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1c5IoWBPaq/?igshid=1nvvlg30f0dns

Naga Sumatera - Palembang. Reference from the collection of Edward Frey. New pieces from Madura are flooding the Malay Markets and being passed off as genuine antiques. Opportunistic Madurese are capitalising on the openness of collectors who publicly share their collection. Often the classic and antiquarian designs are being blindly copied. Well here is the kicker. Collectors don’t show the exact details out in the open. Without the original piece, a duplicate from pictures is worthless. Don’t be too proud owning modern duplicates from Madura. It will never be the same as those made by Traditional Malay hands. -JoFe. PS: A Malay Naga Keris has its own myths and magick associated to it. A powerful tool to whomsoever chosen to be its eventual owner provided he has the knowledge of its use. Modern copies lacks this aesthetic. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1akqKzBC-R/?igshid=nfhsjzp3ab4i

From a published work in 1927. Detailing the traditional Malay Technology in metal smithing. This illustration depicts the fashioning of a spear head and badik blade. Observed by a British anthropologist, ethnographer and archaeologist. The incorporation of modern metals with old metals was already a convenient practice by the Peninsular Malay metal smiths back in the 1900s. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1VNYhoh5rz/?igshid=jqfnzb6ugykn

Simply gorgeous!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Qsu6EBHmU/?igshid=q3vgqr132369

This was how the axe looked like before being given a facelift and make over. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QfeyOB3TO/?igshid=1lt7j3aucdegj

Acquired this in 2017. Blade sharper than ever. Beautiful piece. With leather strap and fittings. Simply gorgeous. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1P3BP2h90Z/?igshid=1b0soe6kf6uym

Highly sought after by fishermen. This petrified “pearl” (buntat, geliga, mustika, bezoar) releases pheromones and natural chemical triggers that gets activated when exposed to sea water. No magick involved. It’s all science. Now you know how JoFe always gets the fishies on his side. Its like catnip for fish. Another patent coming soon. Natural bait lure for fish. Another promising product from the labs of JoFe Industries. Realising potential from myths. 😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IBQBjhCoX/?igshid=gf1rhh41rpz3

The ultimate hilt, amongst the plethora of keris hilts throughout the Malay Archipelago is definitely the Tajong hilt. No other contender to it. Utilitarian and functional at the same time. Truly a masterpiece. Only originals made by artisans from the Malay Peninsular is sought after by collectors of Tajong Hilts. Those made by non-Malay hands though somewhat similar, lacks the spiritual essence (semangat) and feel to it. Think about it. A hilt made in two weeks versus a hilt which takes 6 months or more to complete, which will have more “uummmphh” to it? Its like comparing a genuine Patek Philippe against an Imitation Rolex. Worlds apart indeed. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FzcUeBWoo/?igshid=142e7w9d8187x

In the right light with the right filter, a normal shot, will appear extraordinary. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1DuYaxBKtE/?igshid=1gb32z3ez3ocn

Another fine piece of art coming to my collection soon. Silver fittings are ready!!! Woot!!! Woot!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AZT53BugP/?igshid=kro020zz8iig

Years ago, I could only fantasise about possessing an antique Peninsular Malay Malela Luk 5 Keris. 2019, marks the momentous accomplishment. Special thanks and shout out to a dear friend of mine, from Malaysia for his encouragement and suggestions. Finally my dream came true. A beautiful piece indeed. - JoFe https://www.instagram.com/p/B090EBYBAtc/?igshid=csc27amfuof

Throwback to 5 years ago. Together with veteran keris collectors in Singapore, and other cultural activists from various ethnic and racial class, we came together to make a grassroot event successful. The event was amazing. Various ethnic groups coming together sharing their cultural heritage. We came a long way to reach this level of maturity and respect for one another in race and ethnic relations. We rely on the young to continue this culture. Let not foreign influences sway us from achieving a gracious and harmonious multi-racial society. Singapore is the finest example in the world when it comes to a multi-racial society. In today’s trans-national interaction, it becomes even more vital for all races and religions in Singapore to not be overly petty on matters exclusively related to one’s own race and religious beliefs. Willingness to give and take is key to maintaining a harmonious multi-racial and multi-religion society in Singapore. Onwards and Upwards!!! Majulah Singapura!!! - JoFe, 10 August 2014. https://www.instagram.com/p/B09qj6nhTP7/?igshid=43csxkvncfs8
