Sumatra keris (bahari?) with strange pamor.
2 Attachment(s)
Hello,
Here is an old sumatran keris with a unusual pamor (for me), but this is my first keris with this blade shape so I don't know much about it. The blade isn't in good condition. The blade is not in a good condition, I just clean the blade (roughly superficially) by rubbing with WD40 and a rag. There was a sort of dark wax in the hollows of the blade, for the moment I did not remove it. The blade measures 40cm The selut (silver?) Is broken, and the handle very worn because looking very closely at the head of the jawa deman I could see very fine incisions filled with a black substance. These engravings are very simple and draw loops but impossible to take pictures. The pamor makes me think a little about the Javanese pamor Pari sawili but there is still much difference. Do you know the name of this pamor and its meaning? PS : Sorry for the quality of the pictures. Either the blade was too white or shiny, or too dark. It's the least blurry pictures I've ever done to see the pamor. :( |
Nice keris :) .... about pamori think is difficult to understand.... maybe something like sekar kopi
|
IMHO a dwi warna pamor: wengkon and sekar kopi.
According to the length the blade should be called Anak Alang. Sumatran long krisses usually have no pamor, a comma-shaped blumbangan and different hilts. |
Thank you for this informations.
I thought it was sumatra but maybe it is malay? This kriss has no sheath. What type of sheath would be the most correct with this type of blade? |
For the type of sheath you can refer to the thread "Anak Alang from Nova Scotia".
|
Ok thank you.
