Hi all
in spirit of sharing knowledge, here it is another keris of mine. This keris is simple. What makes it nice is the pamor I believe this dhapur is known as Jalak Ngore (CMIIW), and this one is not stained properly due to poor storage before this one has "Unthuk Banyu / Unthuk Segara" pamor Unthuk banyu means = froth / foam of water / sea water it is believed this pamor will help in terms of relationship with others this pamor is unique, apart from it is rarely seen, this kind of pamor along with time and maintenance, the different metal will corrode differently, and producing saw-like edges (can be seen in the pictures) the "wood" powder you see in the pictures is sandalwood powder about the age ... say this one has been someone's family heirloom for 30 years, so at least it is 30 years old first, I have to borrow one pictures of friend of mine in Indonesian forum about similar keris, but thought to be made in 18th century, courtesy of Mr. Hidayat - so comparison can be made pardon my pics as I took it using iphone enjoy!! regards Donny |
