Hi Marco,

Where did you get this beautiful keris? The style, probably Solonese. But the handle (hilt) is (wanda) banyumasan. Banyumas is a souverignity state of Solo or Surakarta in the south-western of Central Java. Kemuning werut (the hilt) isn't it?

Marco,

Oh no, not banyumasan. Solonese. Kemuning werut. The kinatah motive in the first wedana (first field, in the bottom of the ganja) is "gajah singa" (elephant and lion). It is a "candra sengkala", figure that mentioning the date of such style of ornament (Sultan Agung, Mataram era). Although probably it was made in the different time... Nice to look at.
