Javanese Keris For Comment

Satria · 12th August 2005, 11:35 AM

Hi all..........

I have lots of kerises ( 70 blades ) but I am still confused with this keris.
This keris' material ( iron ) is identified as old iron but I am still not sure if this keris is old. Some people said that this keris is Pajang period..( but I am still not sure too hehehehe ) So this keris for me is so difficult to indentity.

This keris has 15 luk, and on the gandik is figure of "puthut".
So I call this keris " Keris puthut luk 15 "....????? ( I am not sure because I never find keris puthut with 15 luk ..

)
There are Raja Gundala pamor on both sides of "sor-soran" this keris with "puthut" figure too. In one sides is so clear and in another side is not so clear but still easily to find "puthut" figure.

Soory if the quality of photos is not good enough.

So anyone can help me please.....
All comments are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Satria, your pictures aren't very good, but it sure looks like 20thC work to me. It sure ain't Pajang. Many keris are newly made from old materials, reforging from old worn out keris. Perhaps this is one of those. This is why the iron alone is not good evidence of the age of a keris. From what i can see i like this one it.

Hi Nechesh......
Thank you very much for your opinion.
Yes as I said before that quality of the pictures aren't good enough and actually the original pictures are big size, but when I tried to upload the pictures, the forum refused it, so I resized to small one.

Do you have more informations about from where this keris had been made?

Thanks.
