Keris Jawa Jogja Lurus Putut Kembar.
Keris Jawa Jogja Lurus Putut Kembar – A good and
rare example of a keris from central Javanese regions of Jogjakarta. Fittings in
the gayaman Jogja styles have the top sheath made of well selected
pelet woods with natural contrasting grains. The hilt in the rather stout
form called the bondolan is made of teak woods or jati, with a
brass ferrule or mendak. Bottom stem is fitted with an open brass stem
cover or pendok blewah.
Straight and very sturdy blade has an angular profile (sepokal in Malay
or cendrung in Javanese) with the base having two figurines in a sitting
or meditating postures called putut kembar.
Pamor patterns are condense, and are arranged in the
mlumah technique of the wos
utah or scattered rice variations. All
patterns are unplanned and called pamor tiban. At the base are some pamor
tiban that shows a figurine like formation called pamor rojo gundolo.
The pamor wos utah is
said to enhance the owner's material well being while the pamor rojo gundolo
is sought after for it is said to ward away unwanted forces.
Condition: Very good condition.
Aside from minor hairline cracks at the woods, rest
is all in very good condition.
Age: Krises are traditionally made without any date stampings or engravings of the makers' name. Although a kris smith or "empu" has his own styles configured together with the dapor and especially the ganjar (cross piece). Obvious age wear and tear, usage, familiarity with forms, motifs and designs, origin and history, mediums and materials used are our guidelines in determining an approximate age. This particular piece, from our experience and knowledge, should go back to late 18th century.
Length of blade: 13.8". Overall length: 18.9".
