Javanese Keris Raja Guntala (Merged With Zack's Bugis Gundala Post)
Dear members
I would like to know your opinion about this Javanese Keris that I have in my possesion the last year. I was told that it is pamor Raja Guntala and the name of it is Belanak Makan Makani / "the Belanak (fish) eating his food". You can see quite clearly the head of a fish at the base. Along the length of the blade is a larger fish chasing a smaller one. At the base, above the fish head, is the form of a man swimming. It is very old (at least I was told) but it would be interesting to know the possible era, dapur etc. Thanks guys Last edited by Rick; 11th August 2006 at 01:47 AM. Reason: MERGING POSTS |
