Just received this keris in the mail.
Bought it on a vague picture and was pleasantly surprised. I do not know much about this type of figural hilt but have seen it being called Dursasana and Rajamala I think. Is any of these an accepted name for this figural hilt? Furhter I would like to hear the opinions about the origin of this keris Cirebon or Tegal seem to be the most likely to me?! And what about the pendok it is simple copper and does not really seem to fit well with the rest of the keris I think. The hilt has a selut but also some sort of very small silver mendak that goes up a bit (1cm) along the peksi into the hilt. The pamor seems to be adeg? Hope you can help me in determining this keris. |

Nice cirebon /tegal keris; about pamor... warangan can help about it .
Tegal (old) hit seems, from pics, very very nice. In my experience this kind of hit is one of the most rare to find. VERY NICE ![]() |

Hello Eric,
very nice keris with beautiful hilt. I would think that it is a Tegal keris. Pamor seems to be adeg. The pendok is maybe a later addition. sajen |

Thanks for the nice comments so far.
If I were to replace the pendok what kind would suit this keris? Silver would be my material of choice but what is the style that fits? Regards, Erik PS any good sources for such a pendok more than welcome too of course. |
