Keris Jawa Solo Luk 9 Ladrangan Seiras Nunggak Semi 609.
Keris Jawa Solo Luk 9 Ladrangan Seiras Nunggak Semi 609 – A good example
of a keris from the central Javanese regions of Surakarta. Fittings in the
ladrangan surakarta forms, with the handle made of hard trembalo(?)
woods and the top sheath made from a single piece of well selected cendana
or sandal woods. Bottom stem is encased with an open plain thick brass cover or
pendok blewah. A brass ferrule or mendak completes fittings.
Very sturdy blade with 9 very sublime waves or luks, has well executed
base features or perabots, with an overall shape or dapor called
sempana.
Pamor pattern are condense and are arranged in the mlumah technique of
the wos uitah or scattered rice variations. All patterns are unplanned or
pamor tiban, and at the base an unplanned pamor tiban in a peak
like formation is seen and is called pamor nunggak semi, with the
above overall pamor of the kulit semangko or melon’s skin pamor.
The pamor nunggak semi is said to enhance the owner’s status, while the
pamor kulit semangko 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 late 18th century blade, with early to mid 20th century fitting.
Length of blade: 13". Overall length: 18.5".
