AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful antique Javanese keris originating from the Yogyakarta region, despite its great age in very good condition.
First, the distinctive and rare grip stands out, the so-called Javanese dikbuikje with the beautifully deeply cut masks/Patra's and the gilded mendak.
Next, the tight Waranka cut from Timoho Pelet and the perfectly fitting brass pendok with the floral and animal motifs catch the eye.
When one then pulls the Wilah from the sheath, a clear ringing sound is heard, testifying to a perfectly ground blade that has undergone a professional hardening process.
When one then views the Wilah in full glory, it is undeniable that this keris must have been forged by a very skilled and experienced Empu.
The beautiful interplay of lines, forged with extreme precision over the 7 luks of the Wilah by the Empu, is breathtaking, and even on the Ganja the pamor can be admired.
This Keris must have belonged to a dignitary, someone of nobility, or someone who worked for the Sultan at the Kraton.
In short, a very stately keris that would not be out of place in many a collection.
