CIREBON & TEGAL ornamental hilts
6 Attachment(s)
Cirebon hilts have several varieties in form. Older hilts -- influenced by their ancestor of Hindhu Pajajaran Kingdom -- with figural hilts of raksasa or buta bajang motifs, wayang, and ganesha motifs. And and the younger Cirebon/Tegal hilts in ornamental form.
These are examples of Cirebon and the neighboring city of Tegal ornamental hilts.. |
Combination in keris fitting

This is just an intermezzo. Combination of different styles in keris fitting, is commonly done among keris lovers. Of course, it is not part of old tradition. Such as, a "sandang walikat" (an informal form of javanese keris sheath/warangka), wearing Cirebon (northern coast of central java) handle and Mataram (central java) mendhak (pls see pictures).

Again, combination in keris fitting. The long one, Cirebon sheath but with Java Demam hilt, and the short one is Cirebon hilt with (informal) "sandang walikat" sheath of Central Java (Solo style).

"ganesa tegal" thanks for correction pa Ganja. i like the old jogja too,,inside that
sheat is an old knife not a keris but original with the sheat. i like your short one,,is that a Tumpuk or Pandan Sairis ? |

Just a guess: not an old knife, but probably a "cundrik" (short-pedang like keris). The pamor of my short one, I think it is "toya mambeg" or "banyu mambeg" (the same meaning) or "clogged water", "stagnant water" in English... I don't know exactly the philosophy of this pamor's name. |
