coments on this...a help
I´m a new member on this forum and I would like to have some information about this keris; its shape, pamor and so on.
Could any of you give me some idea as to possible age, origin, is it a tourist item…a fake…. or authentic?, etc : I would appreciate any comments or information you may have. Thanks in advance for any comments. |

Hey there, welcome to the forum!
You can be at ease, this is an authentic keris. It seems to be from Solo, dapur Tilam Upih I think, could be Brodjol. The pamor could be wos wutah. No way to tell the age, but it looks old to me. I like the ukiran and wrongko a lot. Too bad the gandar is damaged though. I'm sure you'll get more accurate answers from the many knowledgeable folks here. Regards, Emanuel |

Strange ukiran for a Solo piece, almost like a hybrid of Jawa & Solo

Hmm, Rahardjo (2003) has a similar one listed as Yogya, and yet another one as Surakarta, so maybe Solo not far off In any case I always thought this type of ukiran looked a bit Balinese, so eastern Java would perhaps do it?

It seems old to me. If I am not mistaken, your keris is dapur tilam upih, pamor beras wutah. It could be Mataram but more likely Padjajaran if looking at the gandik and ganja (small and a bit rounded). Warangka made of Kayu Timoho with Gayaman Solo style. Handle made of Kayu Timoho. Your mendak and Handle could be from Eastern part of Java.
