Interesting Bali urangka

Hi folks, long time no post.

I saw this Bali urangka shared on the Instagram of a pande who goes by Mangmong.

I haven't seen this type before and I find it interesting. Does anyone have any...

Yes Milandro, forgery is rife and unfortunately there'll never be a shortage of supply.

But I don't think we can consider a blade being reworked for resale as a forgery. I suspect that it's...

Interesting blade for me to think about.

I see a very beefy blade with a blumbangan boto rubuh (but arguably square) and a short sirah cecak profile.

Perhaps naively I would have placed this...

I wasn't asked, so please excuse me for butting in, Alan. But I am interested and it's been awhile since your question has gotten a response.

Would this keris permit a Banten classification?

Dhapurs and their names

How does a dhapur get its name?

Relatedly, is there a relationship between the name of the dhapur and the kerises physical form, or with the tuah of the dhapur?

I suspect this might differ on a...

For what it's worth I like it too Milandro. I thought that when you first shared it and I still feel the same way.

Yep newer, so I guess we can call it kemardikan. The dhapur is tilam upih.

Interesting profile on this one. It's got that claw-like Bugis sepukal silhouette. Edit: or maybe it's just the photo...

Thank you Alan.

I agree that it's market value now would be decent had it not been fiddled. There seems to be a healthy appetite to pay good money for blades with 'older' classifications like...

I agree with David - nothing simple about it. I really like this keris and I'm quite partial to those robust gonjos. Thanks for sharing, JustYS.

Totally agree Alan, it would be better to use the correct or generally accepted spelling when we can, so as to not cause any confusion.

I believe that a Malay pronunciation of 'serindit' would be with a barely audible t at the end, a subtle glottal stop. I think 'serindi' might just be a closer-to-phonetic rendition of that.

I thought that this blade gave a Tuban impression, but it seems that the gonjo doesn't tick all the boxes. Namely the tail of the gonjo appears tapers straight (without a waist)...

Hello Alan, when you say that the blade fitting is painstaking, are you just thinking of carving out the inlet for the gonjo? Or are you also factoring in hollowing out the gandar?
