Keris Majapahit

These four keris Majapahit. They come from my mother family and are family pusaka. Both scholar Edward Frey and David Van Duuren call these keris Majapahit. David Van Duuren say in his book that these keris type may be 1,000 year old. They are for protection not for stabbing. Keris A is only 14 cm long same as smallest one in collection Tropenmusem. Keris B is keris Majapahit picit. This forged by hand and three impressions of thumb can be seen on the blade. Two are in front side one on back side. These keris stay with old stone Ganesha and are feed every day with incense.
