Yeah the auctions seem to be where it's at now, but I always find out about them after the fact. I should note which ones have sold keris in the near past and sign up to a mailing list or something. ...

The inscription has what appear to be harakat diacritics which are only used in Qur'anic Arabic. I'm thrown as to what it's supposed to say though. It's less to do with the legibility and more to do...

Very nice SidJ. I find it near impossible to find keris, let alone good keris in Aus, aside from one obvious source which I will not name (but I think we all know it) so as to not violate this forums...

I thought this initially too. But I am now skeptical. I don't think Prawiradireja II was ever this portly a man. Attached is probably one of the younger photos we have of him. I don't believe it's...

A nice find and an interesting keris, David. I too am curious by the long sekar kacang, as well as the feature above the jenggot. I wonder if they were intended as ron dha-like carvings.

Thanks Alan, I see now.

So if I'm following correctly, it seems that we can use the kebo or mahesa description for this keris. But it isn't strictly dhapur kebo lajer because it has luk.

Thanks for focusing the discussion, Alan. Here is my understanding of these words.

I'd have guessed Javanese. The execution on the greneng is intriguing. Tikel alis looks to be in the old style.
I wonder if the fairly dainty kembang kacang would support an East Java classification.

Degradation of important keris over time

In Keris cultures, my understanding is that important keris are ritually cleaned periodically by their caretakers.

Over time this leads to degradation of the keris itself.
