As for the figure figure in the hilt, often figures that are crouching like this are related to ancestors. The bird face behind the head appears to be a Garuda Mungkur, a protective figure. Tiuk...

I'm not...

That's a really beautiful panjang Milandro. I love that really unusual greneng variation. I have never seen that before. Someone (not me LOL!) might be able to pinpoint the origin of this blade with...

I have seen Tajong hilts on panjang blades before, but as far as i know this is not a traditionally acceptable combination. The keris panjang you show here is a rather recent blade i think.

I have obviously seen mamas and have quite few examples in my collection, but is there a strict and exacting make-up to this alloy, or does the formula vary somewhat?
Milandro, i don't recall mamas...

Yes, i believe it may well be a Javanese dhapur and only recently do we see Balinese style keris that employ it.
It is not the fact that your keris has luk with this design that i don't care for. I...

Hopefully Alan Maisey will tag in because i am pretty sure i remember him talking about such modifications being made to a damaged ladrang in the past. My apologies Alan if i have misremembered this.

Sorry Detlef, i did miss that question.
The ensemble came with that finish. It does seem to be some sort of shellac finish. A bit unusual, but i have no idea where or when it was applied.
