For Comment #4
Another one.
Some damage, but supposedly it left Jawa before 1850. |

Thanks for posting Alan. I find myself quite smitten with this one.

Hi Alan,
What character is on the hilt? Is it a wayang character? Looks very nice... I know you have obligations of not showing the blade, but could you please tell us more about the blade? Dhapur? Pamor? Thank you, YS |

Very nice. The proportions are so pleasing to the eye (to this beholder anyway ). Would I be right in saying that these are North Coast style dressings?

YS, at the moment I'm not at home, I'm in Solo, I have not handled this keris in probably 3 or four years, my memory is simply not good enough to permit me to answer your questions.
Yes Jaga, I believe most people would place this keris as Ceribon. |

According to the booklet "Keris dan senjata pusaka bahari" which seems well documented and written by experienced collectors, this wrongko would be locally called Perahu Labuh "ship at anchor" and generally attributed to Cirebon indeed.
And I will let Alan identify the figure on the hilt Regards |
