Keris Patani Lurus Carita Pamor Miang Mas 0411.
Keris Patani Lurus Carita Pamor Miang Mas 0411 –Very good and rare example
of a keris from the northern Malaysian peninsular regions of Patani or Kelantan.
Handle in the kerdas or pistol grip form is made from very well selected
kemuning woods with flashing grains and top sheath in the tebeng
form is made from the less common ketengga wood with contrasting grains.
Bottom stem is made angsana woods with tiger’s stripe grains with an
ivory bottom tip. A thick brass ferrule or pendoko completes fittings.
Long, very sturdy and rather broad straight blade, has very well executed base
features or perabots, with a slender arcing profile and shallow fullers
or sogokan at the base, it has an overall shape or dapor called
carita in Malay.
Pamor patterns are very 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.
The very crystalline or homogenous surface of black and white metals shows very
good selection of different metals used. It is sought after, and is called pamor
miang in Malay.
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.
Length of blade: 15". Overall length: 19.8".
