Differences between luk forms

Alam Shah · 8th May 2009, 06:49 AM

A good example of an illustration could be found in the book, "Keris Jawa: antara Mistik dan Nalar", page 157. It shows the 5 major forms.. luk hemet-hemet, luk kemba, luk sarpa lumaku, luk keker/sarpa nglangi and luk rengkol. Of course there are variants in between.

Btw, welcome to the forum.

Hello Alam Shah

Thank you for your suggestion. Based on the picture in "Keris Jawa" I own 1 kemba, some sedeng, a few keker and 1 very similar to rengkol (true rengkol seems to be closely related to the tangguh Pengging, but my keris is said to be Mataram Senopaten).

Regards,
