Keris Jawa Patrem Gayaman Kendit Lurus Seiras.
Keris Jawa Patrem Gayaman Kendit Lurus Seiras –
A good and rare example of a short keris from the central Javanese regions.
Fittings in the gayaman solo forms with the handle made from very well
selected trembalo woods with natural flashing grains. Top sheath or
wrangka is made from naturally occurring contrasting grains that has a
single line along the middle. This type of pelet wood is rare is sought
after and is called pelet kendit. A brass ferrule or mendak
with colored stone insertions completes fittings.
Short, straight and sturdy blade with plain base features has the base cross
piece made one with the blade and is called ganjar seiras.
The short nature of the blade strongly suggests feminine use or patrem
in Javanese.
Pamor patterns are condense and are arranged
in the mlumah
technique of the wos
utah
or scattered rice variations, which is said to enhance the owner’s material well
being.
Condition: 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 the late 19th century blade and top sheath with newly made hilt and ferrule.
Length of blade: 10.5". Overall length: 13.7".
