Eastern Java / Madura kris - Empu Tandju Bari?
I am looking for more info on this keris. It has very distinct greneng.
Based on this greneng I have heard two stories - unfortunately very different ones.... Story one was - this is very typical for early Sumenep kerisses Story two was - this is very typical - signature like for an Empu called Tandju Bari - supposedly early 19th century eastern Java. This keris is one of my personal favorites in my small collection - would like to hear more opinions! And just for fun a picture of some other kerisses from the same region! All favorites of sorts 1 favorite sheath - very nice floral decoration on the silver coloured metal 2 one of my favorite blades as discussed above 3 one of my favorite blades (raja abela raja pamor) and handles - extremely finely carved floral donoriko 4 favorite madura total package of sheath/handle/blade/mendak Last edited by erikscollectables; 10th July 2009 at 03:21 PM. |
