How would you define this kris
A kris sepukal, berpamur, ganja iras
Decorated with a star and a crescent. Is it a paror beras wutah-gedhagan ? Does it has the attribute "picit", because of the finger marks ? The hulu (grip) is in fossilized elephant molar The sampir is in light wood and unfortunately painted but the silver decoration is well done. The selut is modern, a Melacca cup and is from Kota Bahru Can anyone guess or analyse : The origin ? The name of the pamor ? The reason for the change of colour in the blade (close to the crescent/star)? Possibly an age ? (<50 years ?) Thanks a lot. Regards Michel |
