Help with newly posted Keris

Michael,

It is indeed Dapur Tilam Upih. The profile of the blade curve is known as "Medhang Suduk" with ganja "Sebit Rontal" and Tikel Alis "Cekak". The tip of the blade or Pucuk Bilah is in the "Ngudhup" style.

As for the pamor Kembang Lampes(?), I need to check... I only know pamor Sekar Lampes, and this is not it.

Thanks!

I found the reference on the Pamor in Solyom.

Pamor Kembang Lampes it is, then.

(Ref: Solyom pg.15, 18-19.)

Here's one for viewing pleasure. Blade acquired from Scobey, Montana and fittings (with the exception of the pendokok) carved by Nik Rashidee Nik Hussein of Kelantan, Malaysia.

John,

Overall, a beautiful blade with beautiful fittings.

Hmmm... now waiting for mine...

Gorgeous pamor and a beautiful job of re-dressing. I realize it is not necessarily the tradition with this type of blade, but i might be tempted give it a staining to really pop that pattern out.

Nik did a great job.

A beautiful piece of workmanship John !
There is a real sense of harmony in all the aspects of this keris .
