It is ivory. And almost half or 3/4 size compared to a normal Palembang hilt. But "balu mekabun" is not the real Palembang name, is it? (I know this word, in one recent interesting thread on hilts in...

"BATMAN" HILT - KERIS

This small Sumatran keris I acquired last year, caught my attention -- not only of its "patrem" size (20 cm without pesi, and 3 cm pesi), but also of its "batman" (spiderman?) hilt...

Comparison

Yes, steep angle ("mboto rubuh") at the gandhik -- and even steeper and visually a little bit shorter (proportion) than usual javanese gandhik, is questionable. Just for comparison, the illustration...

JARAN GUYANG?

Seven luks, with details of gandhik 'lugas' (without sekar kacang), tikel alis, pejetan, sraweyan, ada-ada in the middle of the blade. Then IMHO, it could be a "jaran guyang", but had been modified...

THE SAME EMPU?

Will it be exagerated, if I supposed that this popular Si Ginje in the collection of the National Museum of Indonesia also was made by the same Empu? Empu Supa of Majapahit kingdom? Or which Supa?...

Yes, Alan. And the last luk is longer, and even straight at the tip of the blade. So, always combination of keris with luks and straight at the tip of the blade... Perhaps Empu Supa's style, IMHO......

Hi Marco,
Like "Karna Tinandhing" (two sekar kacangs in one blade), this type of dhapur is also reflecting the brilliant idea of the creator -- combination of keris with luks and straight blade......

LUK 9 OR 11?
