keris jalak with rare pamor
Hi all
in spirit of sharing knowledge, here it is another keris of mine.
This keris is simple. What makes it nice is the pamor
I believe this dhapur is known as Jalak Ngore (CMIIW), and this one is not stained properly due to poor storage before
this one has "Unthuk Banyu / Unthuk Segara" pamor
Unthuk banyu means = froth / foam of water / sea water
it is believed this pamor will help in terms of relationship with others
this pamor is unique, apart from it is rarely seen, this kind of pamor along with time and maintenance, the different metal will corrode differently, and producing saw-like edges (can be seen in the pictures)
the "wood" powder you see in the pictures is sandalwood powder
about the age ... say this one has been someone's family heirloom for 30 years, so at least it is 30 years old
first, I have to borrow one pictures of friend of mine in Indonesian forum about similar keris, but thought to be made in 18th century, courtesy of Mr. Hidayat - so comparison can be made
pardon my pics as I took it using iphone
enjoy!!
regards
Donny
