Keris Palembang Lurus Jalak Ngore 0423.
Keris Palembang Lurus Jalak Ngore 0423 – A very good example of a keris from the southern Sumatran region of Palembang. Handle in the less common bird like figurine and top sheath in the typical Palembang's boat style, are made from well grained hard kemuning woods, with a well repoussed gold silver alloy ferrule or selut to complete fittings.
Long and very sturdy sraight or lurus blade, with a thick prominent spine and
well executed base features or perabots, having an overall shape or
dapor called jalak ngore in Javanese.
Pamor patterns are forged in the mlumah technique called pamor kulit semangko or melon skin pamor,
which is said to enhance the owner's popularity.
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 middle to late 19th century.
Length of blade: 14.5". Overall length: 18".
