Suminep work?
The greneng seem to be inspired by Sumatran style. Regards, Kai |

Semar, if you are certain that this is a Javanese blade, read no further, however, when I look at this blade I can see something that has some characteristics that have been rendered in a manner reminiscent of a Javanese blade, and a greneng that is most definitely not of any known Javanese style.
But if you're quite certain its Javanese, OK, end of story, its Javanese. |

Well, i assume we are looking at a contemporary keris. Please correct me if i am wrong. As Alan points out, this blade does not seem to fall into any known Javanese Pakem. But i have seen some very creative license applied to some modern keris, so i suppose it is possible this was made in Jawa and that technically a keris made in Jawa is a Javanese keris.

David, you're more generous than I am.
I cannot see a Javanese hand anywhere in this blade. If it was made in Jawa, it was not made by Javanese person. However, as I've already said:- all are entitled to their own opinions. |
