Pusaka keris (Jalak Sangu Tumpeng) lurus with rare Sekar Kopi pamor from Java, Surakarta, Indonesia

Wilah has the very rare pamor Sekar Kopi, I have had the wilah washed in Indonesia in warangan, renewing the rare pamor.  This pamor motif symbolizes a coffee plant with fruits on both sides. In the center of the wilah is a pamor motif that resembles a thick line from sor-soran to near the tip of the wilah. To the right and left of this thick line are clustered or grouped circles. One group consists of two or three circles attached to a thick line as if the coffee beans were attached to the bean stem. This pamor motif is rare because few empus possess the mastery to forge it. Pamor Sekar Kopi possesses a wealth of spiritual powers 

The shape of the keris (dapur) is Jalak Sangu Tumpeng. This Dapur is popular because it is listed as a Pusaka. Jalak are birds that are very close to human life, birds that are clever and diligent in search, are environmentally sensitive and do not harm others in relationships or are often referred to as symbiotic reciprocity. Tumpeng is often used as gratitude for God's blessings and can be found at various thanksgiving events. When examined further, it has a deep meaning, namely that in the life of the owner it should be able to bring positive benefits to many people, not forgetting that God guarantees livelihoods for people who try to achieve it, and always thank him for the abundance of happiness present. The things implied in the Dapur are the views and guidelines on life for achieving success in work and business. The values contained in this Dapur make her a symbol for Pusaka to earn a living. Someone who keeps keris of this Dapur seems to save the values of the teachings that can be used as a way of life.
