P a t r e m -- The Smaller Keris

HanaChu69 · 3rd June 2007, 06:45 AM

Hi,

I’m a regular guest to warung kopi but somehow this thread has caught my interest. I always have great fascination for patrem and noticed the cool pictures being posted here...very interesting indeed! I like best the piece with abstract of "a mother sitting, taking care of her baby" around the sorsoran area.

Appreciate more sharing of info and to tap more knowledge from fellow collectors. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum, Hana.

Lately our newer members had showered us with many beautiful pieces and opened up interesting topics with many visual delights.

Hi Hana,
Welcome to the forum. This "maternity" pamor welcomes you too...

Greetings everyone,

Alam Shah – Thank you for the warm welcome. I realized that there are quite a handful of familiar collectors here who participated in other keris forums as well. Hmm..that’s the beauty of networking with diversified culture and languages..

I have to agree that the latest topics are getting my attention too especially the one on “keris and spirit”.

Ganjawulung – Thank you for the creative welcome and I like the new term used “maternity” pamor..I wonder what significance it has in your life. Is there any miracle in you getting more children and being productive?

Oh..I’m curious as to why do you need to renew the “greneng”. My surprise to see such action is allowed in Solo but not in Yogya. Are there any specific reasons? My preferences are for older blade and the more jaded the better. Btw, what is your understanding of Majapahit patrem?

Thanks,
HanaChu69

P.S – I’m new to the keris world and apologized for the many questions asked.

Welcome Hana. For some reason i also seem to have a special interest in patrem.

Don't be afraid to ask too many questions. That is how we all learn. And just because you are new to the keris world doesn't mean you have nothing to offer yourself. I look forward to your continuing participation.

Hi David,

Thank you for your kind understanding. I want to be clear on certain guidelines in asking too many questions. If more newbies like me were to come on board, I’m sure this warung will be chaotic. By then, I think you will prefer to have more ghost readers than members being too talkative.

I’m thankful to Ganjawulung who has created this thread to bring forth the discussion on patrem. To date, I’m still reading on them. I will continue my participation as long as I’m welcome here.

Hana, be sure to check into the search function on this forum. You can search the old forum as well. You might find answers to many of your questions have already been posted.

Look at our name Hana. We are like a coffee house. You can't get too talkative in a coffee house.

Hi David,

Thank you for the tips for it’s quite a handful to read. No worries, I will pose questions if there’s any doubts.

As for being too talkative, you have to specify the scenario. Is it coffee house by the roadside, cybercafé or food court? At the end of the day, there must be mutual respect among us. I guess we will have to take turns or take queue numbers if indeed the coffee house gets too heated up or noisy one day…
