Description
A Keris Lombok, with early 16th century blade.
A Keris Lombok, with early 16th century blade.

The Keris with a hand forged ‘7 Luk’ waved Wilah (blade), consists of Pamor steel forged in different layers of iron. Dapur in ‘Sempana’. Wilah with Pamor ‘Walang Sinunduk Sedet’ pattern. Ukiran (Keris hilt) in ‘Gerantiman’ shape and made from Buffalo horn. The Selut made from carved Walrus ivory. Warangka (sheath) of ‘Sebrangatan’ type (‘boat’ shaped) and made from Buffalo horn.

Note 1: The Sultanate of Mataram was the last major independent Javanese kingdom on Java before the Dutch colonized this island. It was the dominant political force radiating from the interior Central Java from the late 16th century until the beginning of the 18th century. Mataram reached its peak of power during the reign of Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo (c. 1613-1645), and began to decline after his death in 1645. By the mid-18th century, Mataram lost both power and territory to the Dutch East India Company (VOC). From there on It became a vassal state of the company by 1749.
