KERIS BANTEN

Please don't apologize Ganja. While it is probably true that we will not unlock the deeper levels of keris understanding with the "game" of show and tell it is also imperative that we all get the chance to view and discuss as many keris as possible to help us on our way, especially when it is a rarer form like this one. It cannot replace hands on examinations, but it is better than nothing. My only regret is that we don't have detailed close-ups nor can we see the blade. But it sure looks really interesting anyway.

Thanks, David. The details of the keris are really fascinating -- no staining, but really naturally-beautiful. The dhapur is "puthut kembar" betok, a popular dhapur of twin hindhu-priest of probably "tangguh" Pajajaran.

Below, the view of the whole blade for you...

Beautiful !

No problem at all, Rick, for the sake of our keris-knowledge. I know, you notice much on the "akar bahar" hilt. So here is more close ups on both sides of the hilt and lower part of the puthut-kembar keris...
