Talking Wrangka Penanggalan

Wrangka Penanggalan/Tanggalan for the first made from Kasultanan Demak, about 1480 - 1590 AC. Morover, this wrangka to be extend by Mataram Surakarta and Jogja, and then, became many models of wrangka, like Gayaman and Ladrang (Ensiklopedia Keris p:520).

My wrangka is an old made. It Is so hard to get this original wrangka like this, 'cause, it was a discontinued models.

Yes, that this wrangka is not appropriate with your keris
I just want to give an image that if you need to take care your keris with clear, you should know about wrangka style too........, but I think you was

I don't think that the photos was posted by sang kris is a good piece.
How can anybody give opinion that this kriss is so beautiful ? I just look a kriss with a glamour scabbard. Kriss it self, not older than 5 yrs, but it was give some chemical so that it look so old.

And, sepang scabbard, although he told that all of scabbard are old, but I don't think so. How can the old wood can still whole until now ? Is that impossible.

What constitute a good or bad piece? In my opinion, it may not be old but still it is a nicely built piece.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It may be real/fake or new/old, it doesn't matter as much in terms of beauty. The intricity of the artwork and detailing of the ukiran deserves mention.

Dhental, if you mix in a keris community, you would know that your comment style is considered inappropriate in keris culture ethics. (Never criticise a piece in public, unless it is specifically asked for by the owner).

But then, the truth is bitter (mostly)... and sometimes, in order to learn, one has to be knocked once or twice on the head to get things in. Hearing people say that the pieces are 'nice' or 'beautiful' does not add to long term learning.
