balinese keriss ?
Hello dear members,
I'm not specialised in Keris, I just receiveded these two, The incomplete model seems recent and of poor quality, the second one seems really better and a bit older, maybe a signature on the brass? mounts ? an old blade on a more recent scabbard ? ( fits well in ) Any help, comment is welcomed. Kind regards |

Both krisses are in Solo dress (Central Java), may we see the younger blade in full please?

I've always wondered why the Solo pendok is open in the front while the Dogya completely covers the wood of the gandjar. Is it for symbolic reasons or is it purely aesthetic?

The engravings on the pendok apparently read as 1807, but if the date uses the Javanese calendar, you have to add 78 so it is equivalent to 1885 AD.
