It has been a couple of quiet weeks since my last post, which gave me a chance to research a little further.

We were told that the gold inlayed cross on top of the pesi also occurred in Sumatra and thus posed the question if anyone had a photo of a piece from Sumatra having the cross, there have been no reply to this question and likewise no further information on the cross on the ganja from the Peninsula. As no further information has become available on these two locations, I will go back and concentrate on Jawa.

What I found was an article in the Pamor Magazine, specifically vol.: 4, No.: 11 from April-June 2009. The article is named “Sejarah Keris Brojogunadan Tangguh Mangkubumen” and start on page 54 and end on page 58.
What I found of interest in the article was a photo on page 57 the photo show a Keris made by Karya empu Brojoguna III and part of the photo had an insert of the pesi with a gold inlayed cross on the top.

Do this development ring a bell with someone out there?

Thank you!
