Hi guys.
This is a bugis sumbawa keris, as I was told. I believe it was, with the identification of the flat blade face which this keris possess. The blade looks like an old article, the warangka might not but it fits nicely. However, the luk's work is puzzling me, since it was dead at right-end, instead of left-hand. Does it matters for the luk to end on the left hand-side all the time? This is because most of kerises I've seen are, but several (very seldom) end it luks at right hand-side. I was told by someone that this might have to do with the empu, where a fierce / stern empus usually made this kind of luks as their signature. Is this view claims valid groud? On the other hand, it might looks like a 6-luks keris, which is an out-of-pakem kind of keris. Kindly tell me what are your view? |
