Sirek,
nice old keris. Hilt and wrangka are worn out as we very seldom see.
Surprisingly the pendok seems to have no bruise.
Unfortunately finger prints are not visible.
The blade seems very rusted in the crack: I would definitely eliminate rust before seeing the blade destroyed.

Maduranese call Deng udengan / Urang urangan for this kind of warangka's style.

Hullo everybody,

Brekele, a nice nick/handle. German or Eastern Java? If Eastern Java, does it bear any relationship to 'shining' and 'bamboo'? (Just curious

)

Best,

hello all,

it is probably part of a javanese earstud. a subang or suweng. these earstuds are put together from several parts. this looks like the ring with the stones around the central stone. see the photo. a 'screw' holds the parts normally together. many of them are torn apart for the stones. sometimes diamonds, intan, glass etc. i hope it (photo) is clear enough.

greetings ron

Best,

This is other example of warangka Deng Udengan (Shape of shrimp) with central carved motif called Rangkerangan (shell & snail?). The hilt’s style is called Tumenggungan , It’s a symbol of Kuda Panuli (Panuli horse).

@Amuk Murugul : I stil dont get it really about your questions.

Hello chregu,

yes it's a Madura keris and the sheat form is called jurigan or gambilihan like Rick write. Keris like this have been discussed already some times here, search for, you will get some more informations. It's good possible that the keris older then from the 50's. Would be nice to see the blade with a fresh warangan again. Here a very similar keris from my collection.

Nice examples guys.

I like the Gabilan scabbards; they are so expressive, almost over the top .
I love the detail in well done Madura carving .

A very interesting mendak Sirek; love the wear and the Iras wilah .

sirek · 20th February 2010, 01:21 PM

thanks for your comments

it is difficult to capture the "thumbprints" in a picture, (in the red circles)
maybay you can see it better on the picture taken of the side.

The medak cames with te keris, and because I never seen this form before I doubt about it in the first place if it was a real mendak.
But the cup-shape fits good on the hilt, so in my opinion maybe a local artist has given his own inspiration on this one.

Rick · 20th February 2010, 02:58 PM

That mendak is actually pretty unusual and nice in my opinion .
No matter that it is missing some stones .

Sirek, since you've had the handle off; what does the end of the pesi look like ?

sirek · 20th February 2010, 05:09 PM

this is how the peksi looks like:

the length is 5cm/ 2in.

Wondering if it's got a hole in it's end Rick?
Thanks for pointing out the blade is a picit Sirek. You are right, it was hard to notice and i missed that the first time around. I really like this one, though i will second the suggestion that you wash the blade or at least eliminate the rust.
