Nice example Rick. I love when this ukiran form is well executed and pierced through. This seems like a nice middle quality keris that's been pretty well taken care of. I like it. Is this the birthday gift from the wife? Can see have a talk with MY wife?
Why are you hiding the sheath?

The ukiran or (jejeran/deder as it is commonly called in Yogyakarta) is in Yogyakarta Nunggak Semi form. I can't see the pierced through cecekan, but I do agree that the form and material is nice.

Mendak (hilt ring) in Surakarta-styled Parijatha form.

Let's see the sheath as well.

The blade looks like Mataram period style.
Let's see what others have to say, blade-wise.

You guys are a tough crowd.

I wanted to concentrate on the heart of the matter; the blade.

Pictures of the sheath tomorrow ... okay ?
Don't eat all your popcorn before then.

David, your collection is twice the size of mine; it might be a tough sell for my Lady to convince your Lady .

I also got this and a 7 keris ploncon.

You only turn 60 once you know ..............

Maybe i just need to wait another 11 years....old man.
I understand your wanting to concentrate on the blade and agree that it is, indeed, the heart of the matter, but i also like to view the keris first as an ensemble as i believe this is important to the overall appreciation of the keris and it's sociological context. It is the way the keris wuld first be seen in a public setting. It helps to put the keris in perspective.

Enjoy those 11 years David.
Life doesn't end at 60; it just gets shorter.

Anyway, cloudy here today so here is the ensemble taken with flash.
