Standing Keris

ganjawulung · 20th May 2007, 03:33 AM

Dear All,

What I want to tell you is that keris is not only a matter of keris itself. So many human aspects in it. In some part of Java, for instance. To test kerises, sometimes they "hit" the point of the keris to a coin. If can stab (the tester lift the coin with the point of the keris), than the tester say, "This is a Brojoguno's keris,"

Brojoguno or Brajaguna, is a very famous empu in the Solonese Kingdom era of Paku Buwono. Actually he was Madurese empu with a good ability in making a very strong blade to stab (prick) metal. Good quality of metal, and good style in making keris. So, Brajaguna is still a "money back guarantee" for selling keris in many Indonesian pasar, until now. Idem dito, the standing keris. The selling point for the "bakul keris" or keris merchants...
