Pardon my ignorance but what collection is this? From a museum or a personal collection. Just taken by the the Tajong and coteng pieces and hilts.

Very nice collection, thanks! It is not my area of collecting but I am a bit surprised by the mixing of tajong style hilts and Javanese scabbards?

I agree with Jean. Seems like a very nice collection (though the blades themselves would tell more), but the tajong hilts mixed with the Javanese sheaths do not make much sense to my eye. Not sure that they make much sense on keris panjang either. |

Hello Amuk,
The wood species names are unknown to me (majang, djongan, etc), do you know their equivalent in Bahasa Indonesia? And as David said, it would be nice to see the blades also and the detailed pics of the hilts. Regards |

They are not wood species, rather the type of sheath, equivalent to the mainstream gayaman, ladrang etc. Apologies for the lack of punctuation. Best, Last edited by Amuk Murugul; 20th May 2018 at 10:15 PM. |

I deliberately didn't include the blades as it may detract from the fact that the pieces are grouped according to hilts. So my prime interest in this group is the hilts. The Djawa sheaths are used to remind me that the associated hilts are Djawa.The keris pandjang hilts are original to the kerises (popular until the end of the 19thC.). I may do the blades at some time in the future, bit by bit. I'm not articulate enough and can only 11-finger type. Best, |

Thank you for posting these images Amuk, very interesting.
You advise that the names you have used for the scabbards are in a language other than BI or Javanese, that the names you have used are not mainstream names. May I ask the place and time when the names that you use for the scabbards would be recognised by a person who was keris literate? Thank you. |

The collection is yours and you are free to dress them as you please, of course, but these hilts still look strange and out of place with those sheaths no matter where they were actually carved. Are the blades within the Jawa sheaths also from Jawa? |

Well, just to remind me that those hilts were made in Sleman, central Java. Best, |
