patrem
8 Attachment(s)
Dear keris folks ,
Here i share this blade ,an old patrem lombok in kojongan ( sandang walikat ) sheath. The hilt made of buffalo horn in prabu style. Any comments are very welcom . Thanks and regards, Ganja iras |
I would say that all the dress, including the hilt, are contemporary. I like the color of the horn if they are indeed accurate in the photo. What is the length of this blade?
|
Am I the only one who sees a similarity of sorts with the Malay kris posted by Charles ?

I have my doubts that this blade actually originates from Lombok, but other opinions are welcome :)

hi
Dear friends ,
Thank you very much for the comments and your opinion. the blade length is 20 centimeters ( gonjo to the tip ). frankly i dont know much about keris ,so i can't determine the originate of the blade. The dress ( warangka ) is new made ; purnama sada wood ,but i have no idea about the hilt age. Thank you. G.Iras |
I would image the hilt is just about as recent as the sheath. It's not a very refined or skilled piece. I generally see better execution on hilts of this material that have any reasonable age to them. I would not be surprised if this entire ensemble was a Madura creation. :shrug:
