Java kris for identification
Unknown Javanese kris.
Got this kris today and very happy with it but it confuses me. The experienced seller calls it a Cheribon kris but I am not to sure about it myself.
The Banymas silver pendok aligns with a Nothern Java coast example but that's just about it relating it to Pesisiran area imho.
This is the information coming along:
KERIS WEST-JAVA

DAPUR: Bakung
METEORIT PAMOR: Sisik Sewu
WARANGKA: Ladrang Solo, Capu kagok in Cemara genung

Hope someone can give some insight.
