Hello Semar,
What do you find special in this kris? There is no clear slorok on the edges and there is some visible pamor inside the pejetan cavity so no steel core? Regards |

Jean, I feel that close examination would show that this keris does have a core, but it is not a keris with any quality, the forging has been carelessly handled , and although I feel it might have been produced in the greater Surakarta area it is the work of a smith, rather than a pandai keris. A random pamor like this would be called "wos wutah" by most people; others would give it as kulit semangko, others would give it as real or improvised variation of wos wutah.
The dress I find quite pleasing; possibly the complete keris dates from early 20th century. |

Important is that Semar like the keris and frankly said, I have seen here much less "fine" keris.
