Keris Patani Luk 7 Pandai Saras 6 Ron Dha 0721 – A
very good and rare example of a keris from the northern Malaysian peninsular
regions of Kelantan and Patani, southern Thailand. Handle in the kerdas or
pistol grip form, is made from very well selected kemuning woods,
with contrasting grains. Top sheath or sampir is
made from the same kemuning woods
with flashing grains. The bottom stem or batang is
made from angsana woods
with a fine pierced through silver pendoko or
ferrule to complete fittings.
Long and sturdy straight blade with prominent triangular spine typical of the
regions styles, has very well executed base features or perabots with
and overall shape or dapor called pandai
saras.
The example shown is having not only having 4
ron dhas
on the
grenengs,
but also 2 at the
jenggots.
Usually there is only 3 at the
grenengs
and one at the
jenggot.
Pamor patterns are arranged in the
miring
technique showing vertical lines
called pamor
adeg
or standing pamor. It is said to protect the owner from natural mishaps.
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: 15". Overall length: 18".
