And here a East Javanese keris which found its way in the last time to my collection.

Is the keris so bad that nobody wants to give a comment?
![]() I've bought it mainly for the hilt, the atasan was broken and I've repaired it and the blade has received a new warangan and I have added a mendak. I've done this after I've noticed that the wrongko was made for this blade so I have decided to keep the keris as a complete ensemble. |

The pelet on the wrongko is also nice, which is probably why this keris was refitted for it. This hilt form is one i have yet to collect. Seems like a fairly good example of the form. What is the mendak made of, copper, or possibly suasa? |

Yes, it's a wengkon pamor but like you I can't name the inner pamor. I have a fondness for pelet wrongkos and I am glad that the restoration of the atasan is coming out quite good. And like said, the hilt was the main reason that I have acquired the neglected keris. The mendak seems to be from brass or copper and was once silver plated I guess and coming from my stock.

The color definitely makes it look more copper than brass. I have a selut of one of my collection that is copper that was once silver plated so this seems very likely.

I'd give that inner pamor as ngulit semangko, so: ngulit semangko wengkon
