I n s c r i p t i o n -- in keris

Dear Raden Usman, Mans, and All.

Coincidentally, the KERIS Magazine 4th edition published poster on "keris with inscription". Named as Kanjeng Kiai Rapal (usually, Kanjeng Kiai was an atribut of royal kerises), tangguh Madura. (See picture below).

And coincidentally too, there is a topic on pamor "buntel mayit" in this edition. The essay said, that actually this pamor -- which is favorite in Lombok -- is beautiful. And even some people regarded this pamor as pamor of "good luck". So, according to the essay, "it is better to call this good luck pamor as 'pamor buntel mas" or gold wrapping...

This is just an information. Please forgive me, if this post disturbe you all.. I don't mean to open more debate on this topic. Just information....

Greetings fellow keris collectors,

I appreciate keris with inscription and love to own one. I was once offered by a keris collector’s friend a fine inscripted keris with the introductory verse of the Holy Quran. I was hesitant for I always have this perception that to own a keris with inscription one have to be strong in faith and all aspects; physically and spiritually. I will contextualize them similar to that of a name. At times a particular name which is too strong will cause the bearer to have frequent or prolonged sickness.

Please do share your opinion and correct my misconception on this.

Sincerely,
Hana
