Tombak Jawa Lurus Buntil Mayit 0311.
Tombak Jawa Lurus Buntil Mayit 0311 – A rare example
of a spear head from the central Javanese regions. Very well carved newly made
teak wood fitting is having a short and dagger like hilt form, which is a
traditional common practice to keep spears during peace time. Being a wartime
weapon, the easily dislodge blade can be fitted with a longer pole like hilt
using naturally hollowed bamboos, available in abundance.
Very sturdy straight blade with the base ferrule or metok made one with
the blade and is called seiras.
Pamor patterns are rare and are arranged in the miring showing diagonal
lines going across the blade that is called pamor buntil mayit or death
shroud.
The pamor is rare as it is a choosy pamor, and is said to enhance the owner’s
charisma, best suited for military personals.
Condition: Very good condition.
Age: Krises and other edge weapons from the region 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 18th century blade with newly made fittings.
Length of blade: 9.7". Overall length: 22.5".
