A Peninsula keris, I think Terengganu. Sorry for the fuzzy picture. My cat like this keris.

At last my Tajong keris.
The here shown keris are by far not all types and origins you can find but I want to let others also something to show!

Keris types
The Keris appeal...
Great Question Ron, and one I'll never fully understand in my lifetime so praise the forum and its generous members and other collectors who give their precious time, I am in debt to both. I got caught on some time back when I first obtained the Kelling Hall collection and started to become a closet Keris collector and the more I look and learn the more I feel like Russel Crowe writing on walls in "A Beautiful Mind"...If I kept writing notes I'd fill the walls of the house on what's from where with how many things in the Keris world came to be and melded together in different regions over the centuries...I've also learnt even the most learned student may not see eye to eye perfectly due to such a massive cross regional influence in the seas south of Asia. This is my only Java Keris, one I know very little about. The rest of my 40 something collection is from Pattani, Malaysia and Sumatra...I personally find these the most appealing. Gavin |

it's definitely a hugh undertaking, something that has to be taken very patiently. for now i'm trying to approach this from the biggest to the smallest, kinda like taxonomy. i reckon starting with general locations would be, well, a good place to start.
Bali seems to stand out, and so are Bugis. thanks for the basic breakdown on Java, yuuzan, i'm starting to see the difference. Detlef, thanks for the pictures. they're big help! let me ask you this though: what's the difference between the branggah keris, cirebon keris and the madura keris??? sure the pommels are different, but from my novice eyes, the wrangka on the scabbard look similar? |
