Viking Norse Keris for comment

For the pendok, I utilized motifs from the Oseberg ship, which is a genuine archeological artifact. For the carved motif of the wrongko, I utilized a Dragon motif found on a Scandinavian weather vane.

The blade is however based on a Kemardikan pakem.

Hello Alexis,

AFAIK there have been no additions to the pakem during the kemardikan period yet (neither by the Solo kraton nor Yogya). Thus, it would be rather out-of-pakem as most modern keris art. Not a bad thing per se, just saying...

Regards,
Kai
