I have often been amazed at the variety in the dress of Keris coming from Madura.
I wonder just how many different types of Keris dress can be identified with a Madura origin? |

The Gayaman sheath, Solo version, is also seen sometimes.

This combination seems to have been together for a long time .
The pesi is wrapped with human hair. I've never had this one apart; I'm kind of superstisius about this one. ![]() |

Yes, I have also often wondered at the variety in Madura wrongkos. There`s a lot of variety in the handles too.
Regarding the photos that have already been posted:- VVV--- I don't think this is a Solo style wrongko, it appears to me to be East Jawa; Madura is of course a part of East Jawa. The handle looks like an old North Coast one, not Madura. Rick---why do you think this is Madura dress? The wrongko is Jogja, although the handle is Madura. Here are few Madura wrongkos from my own collection. I`ve left handles and blades, and mendak out of it for the time being, to allow us to focus on just one element of dress at a time. |
