I don't take a lot of notice of "internal" and "external" greneng, Gustav, but what you say about Palembang keris that follow the Majapahit line, and Palembang keris that follow the Mataram line is very true. There are also Palembang keris that follow the Sunda line, with boto rubuh. I don't know why this should be, but my guess is that the styles would vary depending on the model that the maker was using. I believe these South Sumatra makers would have been using models, rather than composing out of their head, they would have been trying to be correct by following Jawa, and what they produced depended on the model they had to follow. No proof for this, just an idea.

All my best, John |
