Two 17th century Keris at the Power and Fashion Exhibition in Dresden

[kai]

Hello Alan,

Thanks a lot for your added notes on the keris with sunggingan scabbard!

The sirah cecak is Mojopahit form, but overall, other characteristics indicate that the keris itself is of Mataram form, but most likely made in East Jawa.

Do you believe this to originate from an area in East Jawa which was under control (or strong influence) of (early?) Mataram rather than a peripheral politi like Blambangan?

Regards,
Kai
