keris for opinion and comment

[ericlaude]

I want to present you an old pieces of my keris for opinion

[ericlaude]

Someone can tell me te origine and the type of the blade and its pamor?

[Rick]

A three wave blade .
Maybe from E. Jawa . :shrug:
IMO the real prize here is the lovely one piece wrongko .




Pamor ???? :shrug:

I agree. Better photos of the sheath might be in order here. :)
Can't really tell for sure, but the hilt looks more likely to be antler than ivory. The blade looks a bit rough. A good staining is in order and might make a pamor ID a bit easier. :shrug:

The hilt is bone, I think. Pamor could be ngulit semangka, but the workmanship of the blade seems poor, same for the mendak.
Besides the one-piece scabbard, also the Madura hilt is noteworthy.

[Rick]

I don't think I am seeing any core in this blade . :confused:

Pamor appears sort of 'twisted' . :shrug:


GIO,
Welcome to the forums !! :)

It's sure , the hilt is made with ivory.

[Rick]

May I see a picture of the hilt taken from the top, please ?

Hello Ericlaude,

it's very difficult to state an opion about the material by a picture but I also would bet that the hilt material is antler. I see at some places porosity. Is it possible to remove the hilt from the pesi and take pictures from up and down of the hilt?

In final, I'm sorry , this hilt is made with bone.
