Keris Patani
Lurus Pandai Saras Pamor Miang 909 –
A very good
example of a keris from the northern Malaysian peninsular regions of Kelantan
and Patani, southern Thailand. Handle in the anak ayam teleng or cuddling
chick form, is made from well selected kemuning woods, having fine
carvings at places that needs added mentioning. Top sheath or sampir is
made from the rarer ketengga woods with naturally occurring contrasting
as well as flashing grains. The bottom stem or batang is made from well
selected angsana woods with tiger stripe grains that occur due to windy
conditions. A finely repoussed pierced through silver pendoko or ferrule
completes fittings.
Exceptionally 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.
Pamor patterns are arranged in the mlumah technique, and are of
the wos
utah
or scattered rice variations. The presence of crystalline like or homogenous
effect along the pamor line is rare, and is called pamor miang in
Malay.
The pamor wos
utah
is said to enhance the owner’s material well being while the pamor miang
is highly sought after for its strong protective properties.
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 19th century blade and sheath, with late 20th century handle and silver ferrule.
Length of blade: 17.2". Overall length: 21.5".
