Last one: A Keris Madura
7 Attachment(s)
Looks to be a small, well worn, keris Madura. The wooden hilt is quite simple by Madurese standards. The wrangka is more impressive.
Insights appreciated. |
AFAIK this style of hilt is called sandang walikat. A nice and old specimen of Madurese kris. :)

By the way, the pendok seems to be missing and the black horn inserts on the gandar are probaly more recent than the waranga itself.

Charles, i find this Madura keris of yours quite enchanting. Thanks for showing. :)

IP, I would suggest that these hilts are called sandang walikat hilts because they are the correct hilt to wear with a sandang walikat wrongko.
sandang = clothing walikat = shoulder blade (scapula) |

Amazed that the sheath looks identical to mine. Never saw one before with horn tip end and decorative collar.

Another Madurese scabbard in sandang walikat style with horn inserts, these are not that rare IMO.
|
Could these horn pieces be repairs? Both the buntut and the joint the wranka are areas that are frequently stressed.
