hi sepang , thanks for the compliment , but this keris is one of my permanent collection,....not gonna sell it....

btw , i'm agree that this keris is maduran keris , and made during or before majapahit era.

and i'm still not sure about the pamor...

anyone got better idea about this pamor ???

Hi Weta. This is indeed a beautiful keris. The ivory ukiran is also quite nice. I also really like that lovely jeweled mendak. I must admit i don't particularly care for the pendok, it seems too over done for the overall look of this ensemble. Maybe over time as it loses some of it's brightness it might settle in a bit.

Still, it is beautifully executed.
Exotic pamor are not my strong suit, but i'd say this pamor resembles ron duru more than blarak, except it is moving in the wrong direction. Thanks for showing.

Hi Weta,
Exquisite piece. Love the ukiran. The pamor should be 'ron duru songsang'.

Just kidding. I was trying to look it up in Ensiklopedi Keris, but couldn't find a match. As nechesh said, exotic pamor.

Nice quality pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry Andrew, I reflex to know the price if I look some good piece. Really sorry.....,

and I'm so afraid with your sword although it just icon

Just kidding

Weta, I agree with nechesh that your pendoks is not too appropriate. Maybe you can replace it with an old Madura pendoks from silver or brass.

I have some old wrangka like yours with an old pendoks from bruss, and old wrangka with silver pendoks Cirebonan style.

Don't fear my avatar, Sepang. After all, this is an ethnographic arms and armor forum. Besides, my keyboard is much more fearsome to those who don't read and follow the forum rules.

Very nice horrifying Avatar, Andrew

Weta, yes, that's so hard to find the original pendoks. I looking for it from Kalianget village, at Sumenep. It is an original old wrangka, unless the hilt.
I need to substitute with a Donoriko hilt from ivory like yours. Did U have another piece like that
