And many other specimens.... You may look at them, if you visit the museum in the centre of Sumedang. Former palace of Geusan Ulun, the last king of Sumedang -- before degraded to "kabupaten" (lower than kingdom) in the Mataram Era....
One of the most interesting heirlooms were, pusakas from Pajajaran kingdom, before Pajajaran kingdom was destroyed by Banten kingdom. These pusaka were brought to Sumedang by special envoy from Pajajaran called as "Kandaga Lante" or envoy who brought pusaka from Pajajaran. The form of the pusakas from Pajajaran are very interesting, combination between "golok" and keris. They call their pusaka as "Curuk Aul" or "Forefinger Ghost"....

But, the main pusaka of Geusan Ulun is a big sized keris they call it as "Ki Dukun" (The Shaman) of luk five keris, beautiful keris, longer than normal javanese keris with gold plated sarangka or sheath....

The special envoy of Pajajaran, it said, also brought all the important attributes of Pajajaran -- to symbolized the hand over of the kingdom before the collapse of Pajajaran to the attack of Surosowan or Banten Kingdom (the attack of coalition of Islamic "pesisiran" or coastal kingdoms of Demak, Cirebon and Banten) -- such as, crowns and some other gold attributes...
The crown of Hindhu kingdom of Pajajaran, they call it as "Bino Kasih" Crown, still kept until nowadays..... Ganjawulung Last edited by ganjawulung; 3rd June 2014 at 05:02 PM. |

Some illustrations of how they wear the keris in western part of Java, you may look at illustration in You Tube. My friend, Ki Buyut Rongke uploaded this illustration ("Sampiung Pancaniti", means sacred song of Pancaniti) at You Tube... Hopefully it is allowed to link the illustration in this forum....
