Collection of Sajen

Kulino · 27th August 2017, 11:20 AM

Dear all,
Thank you for your feedback. I'll continue with the remainder of the collection.
Again, many things have been said about this type of keris but virtually none of these statements can be supporten by facts. I agree wit Alan's observation about the recylced blades. These and maybe more were added to the collection to show variety. It doesn't say anything about the extent these specific keris were revered and maybe also nothing about their age. In this box there is at least one which I consider to be recent. ( The one with the detailed hermit/putut is well made but recent.) When the collection boxes are done I'll post a couple of keris in their own 'shrine' boxes as they were collected.

Next. Most of these are fairly log.

Dear all,
The next couple of posts will be of sajen which came in special boxes, sometimes linened with velvet or other fabrics, with a headrest and accompanied by special stone, dried flowers, padi, etc. There is even one with a thank you letter supposedly signed by PB XII. Pity I can't show the scented oils...

Dear all,
This concludes the posting of this collection. My dear friend who collected these keris over the time of his life was a very private person. I'm sure he would have hated it that I would mention his name. Nevertheless I don't see any other way to give him the credits he so deserves publicly. Cees Hendriks, thank you for your friendship, for entrusting me with this legacy and for so many things more.

I hope you will honour his memory by using this database in a good way. For generating knowledge, understanding and preserving this wonderful cultural heritage within its context.
If you have questions or special requests concerning this collection, I will try to accommodate.
