Hi all,
Bought my second bugis. I like the pamor. Seems a 9 luk if I look correct. Pamor ? a mixed one? I have no idea how old this keris is regards Pat |

And some more pictures

The blade with 9 shallow waves looks old but not Bugis IMO, but maybe from West Java?
Regards |

Can you explain why it not Bugis? I though it is a Bugis because of the urikan style regards Pat |
Yes, definitely not a Bugis blade, and very probably West Jawa.
Jean spoke first, so I'll leave the explanation to him. |

thanks for the information, about the region of the urikan Sulawesi ?
About the blade, what pamor is this? I asume some kind of Wos Wutah at the base. Further on the blade something else. regards Pat |

other close up pamor

This is an old blade, and it has been considerably eroded. The pamor when it was new was a random pattern pamor that had been surface manipulated, perhaps something like bendo sagodo or similar. It is possibly not a good idea to give it a definite name now.

According my keris book from Tammens, This keris looks like a Sumatra type. Is this correct?

What do you mean by urikan, is it ukiran (hilt)? IMO this blade is not Bugis for the following reasons (among others): . The dapur with the shallow and uneven waves and the slim shape is not Bugis but rather typical of West Java. . The pamor pattern is not typically Bugis. . The shape of the gonjo, pejetan, and greneng is not Bugis. Please see a similar blade on pic 1.4.69 in my kris book if you have it. Regards |

My similar blade for reference, regards.

I agree with everything Jean has written, and I would like to add a little.
For a pure Bugis blade the outstanding tell is that the blade cross section is hexagonal, the faces of the blade are wide and flat with a short, steep decline to the cutting edge. It is probable that in the hand, both the blade under discussion and Jean's blade would be classified as Segaluh, which is a West Javanese classification. |

True Jean, and this mix of historic association, and geographic location is a source of ongoing misunderstanding and confusion.
Most keris blades are classified in accordance with geographic point of origin, but the name of a geographic point of origin can also refer to an era. Many people choose to understand the classification name as an historic era, rather than as a location. |
