Tilam upih is keris blade form, or "dhapur", it is a simple form, this keris is not tilam upih.
The blade is quite old, it is very likely before 1800 --- & I'm being very conservative here. The dress is more recent, the scabbard probably pre-WWII, the hilt & mendak might be more recent than this, but I cannot give an estimate from the photos provided. The pamor might have been something like bendo sagodo, there are several possibilities, but the deterioration in the blade prevents a definite opinion. |
