Hello Kulino,
thank you again very much for sharing!  I personally would say that the jimats in post #1 & #2 are keris sajen of chundrik form, see also "Iron Anchestors" from Theo Alkema, page 138 and following.Regards, Detlef |

Hello Kulino,
Thanks a lot for posting these examples - please keep going! If you have any ideas/hypotheses how to group some of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts since some features (like utilized iron, etc.) are next to impossible to glean from pics... Regards, Kai |

Metal and grouping
Dear Kai,
The grouping for now has been detemined just by the rough shape. We didn't get around to groupe them by metal. We just agreed upon the fact that these are probably genuine and have considerable age. We pondered upon funtion but could not find any ground for the fact that kudi were once 'blade breakers'. There are way too thin an too light so serve that purpose. Look at the ones which have both features of keris and kudi or jimat. There is a area where they share features. This obscures the function even more. |

I think the function is like the name said, "jimat" (talisman)! Best regards, Detlef |
