Default Could be West Java...

Dear Jean,

Some, if not most -- of Cirebon styles of warangka came from West Javan style. If you go to Geusan Ulun Museum of Sumedang, one of the most complete museum in Western part of Java which still preserve old specimens of West Javan (Pasundan) kerises, you may still find some example of old West Javan warangka style there. Some of their kerises are heirlooms of Pajajaran kingdom....

These are some of the specimens of the old West Javan styles of warangka from the Geusan Ulun Museum. You may compare to your specimens below..

Nice to see you here again Ganja and thank you very much for sharing all this beautiful Tegal and Cirebon keris with us! I only have one Cirebon keris here in Germany and one still in Indonesia which still need to get restored.

Regards,
Detlef

Default Herded buffalo...

Nice to see you again, Detlef....

Yes, it could be called "kebo giri" as mentioned by Alan (pls refer too to Keris Ensiklopedi, Bambang Harsrinuksmo). Giri means mountain.

But it could be also called as "kebo kanthong" as mentioned by Haryono Haryoguritno in his "Keris Jawa" book (2005) keris with extreme long gandhik and long pejetan. Haryono also mentioned keris with very long gandhik as "kebo giring" (herded buffallo) as the word "giring" means to herd cattles...

Dear Detlef,

Cirebon keris with an old "pulungan" hilt, demon-like creature... Is this kris still in Cirebon? I think it is cirebon ladrang sheath of (probably) old chatoyant "trembalo" wood, but repolished...

Dear Ganja,

yes, this hilt form is very similar to the jawa deman hilts from Sumatra, and no, this one is here in Germany. My other one is on Bali by my family.
And yes, I also think that it is trembalo wood. The sheath was black when I get it, maybe because there is an old repair in down at the tip of the gandar. A part of bapangan (back leaf of the warangka) was broken by the transport to Germany so the complete sarung is restored and has get some coats shellac. Good eye!

Regards,
Detlef
