In practice post-1945 is really the same as saying post 1970s. There are not a lot of keris being made in the period between 1945-early 1970s. I think this keris was made after the 1970s, but really could be as recent as last week.

Thanks for the link mariusgmioc.

I can see some similarities blade-wise, though i believe the pamor on Anthony's keris is much more complex than mine.

Cheers,

Well, i don't see too many similarities blade-wise between the two. I think you are correct that the keris Marius linked to is a more difficult pamor to forge. Your Lintang Kemukus is executed with great skill, but i see no reason to assume that the same smith was responsible for both these blades as Marius suggests. There are certainly more than just one highly skilled keris smith working in Indonesia at the moment.

I think it is not from the same empu. But nevertheless, this keris is a beauty. The steel looks like it is forged from old keris material. nice!

Thank you David for your additional feedbacks.

Thank you Anthony, I hope one day I'll find a Keris with pamor Jarot Asem like yours.

Cheers,

Hi

You are welcome.

FYI please, if you want this pamor; there is only 1 craftsman who can do that and in fact, he is the person who 'invented it'. There are only 4 such keris for the moment.

And if you want it, I can help you to link up with the trusted dealer who has the contact with this craftsman. I am making a new piece in March 2020 with same pamor but different dapur.
