Keris Jawa Timur Naga Siluman 0522.

Keris Jawa Timur Naga Siluman 0522 - A very good and rare example of a keris from the eastern Javaneseregions of Jawa Timur. Handle in the less common bebondolan form, and top sheath in the ladrangan branggah form are made from very well selected pelet woods with natural contrasting grains. A gold copper alloy or suassa mendak or ferrule completes fittings.

Long and very sturdy blade is straight or lurus, with a prominent spine with the base having the dragon or Naga Siluman, having a golden ball mouth inset.

Pamor patterns 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 early 19th century.

Length of blade: 14".   Overall length: 18.5".
