Recently obtained Keris
Hello y'all,
As a newbie to this forum, I'd like to start off with my recently obtained Keris. I came past it on a internet site and took it over from the previous owner. The only thing I can tell with 100% sureness is that the Keris has traveled recently across the great ocean from Indonesia, also, I've concluded that its origin lies in Java. I've contacted a Antiquities Dealer and he confirmed some information I put together by information from the internet. I've only started this week on learning more about Kerisses, so my information is doubtable, and therefore, please tell me what you think about it. Ukiran : Solo, possibly type Yudo Winatan Mendak : Possibly copper plated with glass beans Wrangka : Gayaman Solo, possibly Nunggak Semi Pendok : Possibly Blewehan Krawangan Dapur : Possibly Brojol Pamor : Possibly Miring Buntel Mayit or Pangeran Welang Here are the 3 pictures, apologies for the crappy quality, but it's evening, artificial lighting keeps tricky. and last, but not least, a picture with the sizes of 1843x1730, just a link. This pictures has measurements, in metric, but google says, 1 cm = 0.39". ClickIt Cheers! |
