I think this probably belongs on the Keris Forum despite its non-traditional dress, so i am transferring it over there.
It is an older keris, but i don't think it dates back to Mojopahit. The fact...

Your video seems to be on a facebook post that it not open to the general public so only people on your friends list can view it. Can you change the setting on that video to public? Thanks!

I agree with Milandro that this is a nice, well formed old keris. While it might be nice to restain the blade i don't think it is a must in regards to "restoration". The blade, at least in the...

Could have been made for a number of reasons. Yes, a could have been intended as a jimat (talisman), but it could just as easily be an item created purely for collectors as many modern keris are.

I would say that patrem are not exactly "common" in Jawa, but they are more likely to exist there.

It sounds like they were confused by the common misconception that Balinese pengentas are a form of wedhung because this is the description most often applied to them.

I was doing some research on these hilts and realized that i was going to merge these two threads over 15 years ago and then never did. No time like the present, eh? LOL! :D

I have always assumed these cloths were meant to bind the sword to the wrist of the wielder so that they cannot lose hold of it in the heat of battle.

But the blade is even more remarkable to me. It is hard to get a good grasp of the size and weight of this beast from my photos. And supper sharp. You could probably easily chop...

Hi Rob. I completely agree with Detlef here. We just need to stop calling Balinese pengentas tiuk a "Balinese wedhung". It's not a matter of whether "some do and some don't". It is simply indorrect,...

I don't think that is the bowl that the opium would be smoked in. It is merely the stem that the bowl would be attached to, as in these other examples.
