Madura Keris?
 

Hi all,

After lurking for the last six months I picked up this 9 luk Keris yesterday. It's I need of some serious TLC. It sure can use a good cleaning of the rust. I don't know a lot about it what I find interesting is that the wilah is standing in an angle from the Hilt. The Warangka is a model i have seen before but don't know how it is called. And my guess is that the Keris is from Madura. There is pamor to be seen but after derusting it might be better visible.

Hope someone can provide me some more info about this Keris.

Thnx for now and regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

Jep, the sarung is Madurese. But like you I can't name it exactly.
Pics of my example attached.

All three I've have/had (one I sold) and one from Alan G. Maisey.

Yes, Madura, dress is a sandang walikat style.

It is possible that in Madura, sandang walikat might be known by a different name, but if it is, I do not know that name.

Thank you both so much, for the information. and i was also wondering the hilt /hulu when you hold it straight up the wilah is really under an angle, that is different than most of the keris i have.

Maybe a stupid question but has it a name? And if i am right it has 9 luk?

Regards, Martin
