Sorry i didn't respond to the question earlier, but i somehow missed it. I have never considered tangguh my strong suit. I am often much better at noticing why a particular blade could NOT be something rather than proclaiming what i believe it actually IS. I see some similar ricikan that we might see on Banten keris, but not the level of execution i would expect. The blumbangen seems a bit too square and small (more like Mataram) here and i would expect to see greneng and perhaps even jenggot on keris Banten. We don't have a good overall shot, but from what i can see the luk seem too shallow for the usual Banten blade. And if i recall, don't most Banten keris have something more a kin to a Bali finish? In fact i liken Keris Banten somewhat to the look Bali keris. Not sure i know what answer Alan was looking for, but i might have suggested Palembang regardless of dress is pushed to make a call. |
