Keris Malela Luk 5 Ulu Fosil Garham Gajah 0123.
Keris Malela Luk 5 Ulu Fosil Garham Gajah 0123 � A
fine and rare example of a keris from the northern Malaysian peninsular regions
of Terrenganu
or Kelantan.
Handle in the jawa
demam form
is made of fosslized mammtoh molar, or garham gajah in Malay. Top sheath is made
of very well selected kemuning woods
with flashing grains with the bottom stem made of angsena woods
with tiger�s stripe grains, and a thick brass ferrule or pendoko completes
fittings.
Very sturdy blade with 5 meandering waves or luks,
a prominent spine and deep double fullers, has the base features or perabots very
well executed with the typical malela features.
Blade is pattern welded but using higher carbon metals without contrasting
nickel pamor lines.
The stress on practicality from region is shown from the temper mark, or nyepuhan,
which is seen from the darker shades at the edges that extend till the base of
the blade.
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 20th century.
Length of blade: 14". Overall length: 19.5".
