Lovely piece, congratulations!

Love the hilt, mendak, sheath and blade.. that's about everything..

The blade layering can be seen very clearly with such nice photography, highly appreciated. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice keris!

If I remember Pigeaud correctly he mentions that panji was an old title for a prince.

Yes Michael,

You are right. Panji -- in Javanese was an old title for a noble person, a prince. I could mention for instance, Panji Asmoro Bangun -- was a name of a royal prince in an old Javanese legend. Or, Raden Panji Inu Kertapati.

But, Panji in Indonesian language means "flag", but this is not Javanese. And I think, in this dhapur name (Panji Kuda), the word "kuda" also must be spelled as "kudo" (javanese), not "kuda" (Indonesian).

Thank you for the correction, Michael. But this dhapur name is still a question, why "panji kuda"...

Thanks all for kindly appreciation.
I think a lot of dapur names (...and pamor names) have poetic or pictorial names....the artists have great imagination

I find it really hard to tell much about the garap of this keris because of the confusing background ..

Would love to see it photographed against a solid background to really 'see' .
