Sugeng siang, Kanjeng Triadi,

Regarding your keris, as any good book on dhapur keep silent about this dhapur, I suggest we must put it in Dhapur Palawija/Kalawija terminology. About pamor Prabu Hayam Wuruk, well, I haven't heard or read about it either. In fact, it is the first time I encounter the 'pamor hayam wuruk' terminology. As you have access to royal collections, I suggest you to learn from those collections. Just watch, remember the 'character' and find the keris which match it. I believe you live in Surakarta, so could joint the local keris devotee association, Pasupati. I heard there is a keris exhibition on Pagelaran Keraton Surakarta, 26 August - 9 September. You may take a look then.

Just my curiosity, as your keris mounted in Jogjakarta's Gayaman sheath/warangka, it is appropiate to wear it on Surakarta Court's ceremonies ? Did someone had changed the Warangka ? I expect for Surakartas style warangka/sheath/mounting for Mangkunegara/Surakarta royal families heirlooms, as Jogjakarta royal families never had a Surakarta sheath, for obvious reason. I do apologize for my unpoliteness.

Best Regards,

Boedhi Adhitya
