Dear David

Could you provide a few more details about Kagungan Dalem Buku Gambar Dhapuripun Dhuwung Saha Waos. I cannot find it in WorldCat. Perhaps pictures of the front and back (if there are publication details on it) of the title page? Many thanks, Tim

Hi Tim. This is the best i can do for you. It is the title page of the source where the gentleman told me he found the information.

Nice ukiran. I'd run the risk of being pleased with myself if I was able to produce a mendak like that. And I can't find fault with the warangka.
Too many times I've had the disconcerting experience of the wilah becoming jammed in the warangka. This most often results in a prolonged struggle, trying to ascertain the precise "sticking point", tapping here and there, various undignified contortions, sweating, fretting about peeling pamor, muttered obscenities, cursing, and when everything comes to naught: blasphemies shouted from the very back of my throat. Now, unless the keris easily and effortlessly seats itself all the way in, I prefer to have the wilah sit a bit proud. I dunno if that's analogous to trying to wear pants too small in the waist... No...obviously, it's like trying to wear a kain panjang without enough width. I've yet to resort to the bench vise with jaw liners.
