dear kerislovers,
I also would like to invite you to continue our discussion in the thread "Keris & Spirit". If talking about keris and spirit, a thing is still undiscussed there: Nayuh/Tayuh (anyone knows a term in English for Nayuh/Tayuh/Tayuhan) Okay, see you there. Usman |

Pelet Kendhit
Dear Raden,
Your Yogyakartanese sheath in the picture, bearing a "kendhit" (like belt motive) either in the "pelokan" (?) or the hilt. Say it in English, "belted motive sheath?" and "belted motive hilt"... There are some kinds of "kendhit". It depends on the belt motive. There is also "kendhit rante" (chain-belt). Some people believed that keris sheath with "kendhit rante" is good for people with profession of: prosecutor, judge, police. But full kendhit like yours, some believed that's good for everybody who are searching for success (See in Bambang Harsrinuksmo's Ensiklopedi, cf "kendhit" or kendit). Tha "wanda" (special style) of your sheath model, is "gayaman mangkurat" (supposed to be from Amangkurat era's model). And the hilt's model is "narada kandha" (maybe like the figure of Narada -- name of a god -- in wayang, which has big belly). The pendhok (scabbard?), bears "slorok" (you can slide the ornamented part from the pendhok).. Ganjawulung |

The ensemble of this first keris is quite striking, with the matching "kendhit" on hilt and wrongko. Very nice. I would love to see better photos where the flash doesn't blow out the image.

We called it "ganja kendit mimang". According to Bambang Harsrinuksmo's Ensiklopedi Keris, such ganja has good "tuah" or "angsar" (good effect?) to the owner. Good to protect against theft, good to guard your house... |

Kendit Rante?
I have a kendit sheath, but not better than Raden's. I hope, this one is a "kendit rante" (chain-belted) sheath. Or at least, "kendit wurung" according to Bambang Harsrinuksmo's Ensiklopedi.
Kendit rante, believed to be good for people with profession of prosecutor, police... But if kendit wurung, then it will only be good for hope, hope, and hope of good fortune... The keris also has a kendit pamor in the middle of the blade. Please look at the close up this Majapahit era keris which bears dhapur "jangkung mayat" with three luks or the jangkung of the dead body... Oh, but I'm still wanting to live longer... Ganjawulung |
