Exquisite piece. Uncommon hilt and blade. Beautiful pamor works and sheath pattern. Congratulations!

Rick your hit is the same family of this hit.
On the top of the hilt probably there is something like a naga. In the midle there is an ornament like old classic jawa bracelet for arm |

Hi Marco,
Yeah, it's a Gerantiman hilt quite similar to yours . The curlycue on the top of the hilt looks like an unfolding sprout to me . ![]() Maybe someone knows the symbolism of this hilt style . Anyway, I will take more pictures when/if the weather clears . ![]() |

Hi Brekele,
Does this keris have a parang type of blade configuration ? On my example the edge of the greneng side of the keris is dull until about nine and a half inches from the point, whereas the other edge (gandik side) is sharp its whole length . I believe you showed a Ligan in an earlier post where I asked for examples . ![]() That is a lovely keris, Ligan or not . ![]() Some close ups for David : |

I'm not really sure what pamor this is; it is a twisted type .
The blade has no iron core; it is solid pamor material as far as I can tell . ![]() Last edited by Rick; 11th June 2008 at 04:52 PM. |
