The Javanese script, also known as Hanacaraka, is a traditional writing system used for writing the Javanese, Sundanese and Madurese languages. This script belongs to the Brahmi script family, which developed in South and Southeast Asia. The Omyang Jimbe keris, with its banyan tree and umbrella pamor, symbolizes protection, shelter and strength. The banyan tree stands for resilience and shelter, while the umbrella protects against danger. It is believed that this combination grants the bearer happiness, safety, prosperity and authority.

The image of pamor Ngulit Semangka resembles the rind of a watermelon. The primary magical power of pamor Ngulit Semangka is to facilitate interactions with people of all kinds. Additionally, the magical power contributes to earning a living easily. Pamor Ngulit Semangka is a form of pamor Mlumah and Tiban. It belongs to the unchosen pamor motifs and is suitable for everyone.

engraving: approx 11 cm
