As asked by several of here you here is a subject specially for this keris.
The blade fits well in the sheath even if the ganja exceeds slightly. |

Yes, beautiful, but the blade is not classifiable as Banten.
In my previous post to the other thread that showed this keris, I was leaning towards Pajajaran, but still very uncertain, because the blumbangan looked a tiny bit too square. In these new photos I believe that the blumbangan tends towards boto rubuh, and if this is so, I am much more confident of a Pajajaran classification, and absolutely positive that it cannot be classified as Banten. |

Ok Alan, I just repeated what was said in the other topic because I did not know what to write as a title.
I realize that I had forgotten to put the photo of the back of the handle. |

No problem Athanese, I'm only talking about the keris itself, that is, the wilah, or blade. I have only passing interest in the dress, that could come from anywhere, and should not influence classification of the blade.
I understand "Banten" as title for the thread, that seems to be what was agreed previously, but I use different parameters to most people and I do have the advantage of having handled these Dresden keris and photographed them, which means I have notes and perhaps a dozen or more photos of each keris. |

Hello Athanase,
Do you know the history or provenance of the kris and what is the blade length excluding the pesi? Regards |
