So far, only Pak Alan has revealed the esoteric power of his dream keris - to make him win the Lotto or become a king of a small country.
What would other forumite's ideal tuah be?
I'm still thinking about mine.
Probably a tuah that would let me get away with anything. One that would let me enter airports and get on planes without passport or ticket, get in a hotel and get a room without paying, and that sort of stuff. Maybe then I could travel and see the world.
On a more serious side, I think that Pak Alan's dhapur kanghuru, pamor ron kulabah, with a wrangka of red cedar and ukiran of ringed gidgee, would be a very interesting and authentic Australian keris. It would represent the continuing development of keris culture, a museum piece indeed.
Just one more question on the Australian warangka; would it follow a Surakarta, Yogya, east Java, Bali or any other Nusantara ethnic style, or would it have it's own style, maybe a stylized surf-board rather than a stylized boat?
