This antique straight keris comes from the dapur Tilam Upih. Tilam Upih in Javanese terminology means a mat of woven leaves for sleeping, meant to indicate the comfort of a family or household. Therefore, many Pusaka krisses were passed down from generation to generation with the Dapur Tilam Upih. This shows the hope of the family elders that their children and grandchildren can find peace and prosperity in married life. In the past, parents passed the Keris Tilam Upih to their married children from generation to generation, which means parents pray for their children so that their family life may be good, noble and prosperous. Tilam Upih is also a symbol of hope for prosperous life. Tilam Upih is also called the mother of all keris. According to a story long ago, Sunan Kalijaga once suggested to his followers that the first keris that existed was the Tilam Upih keris. I estimate the tangguh to be Tuban (1294-1474, a vassal state of Majapahit Kingdom). The pamor is Jung Isi Dunyo. “Jung Isi Dunyo” means “ship with property”. “Jung” means ship and “Dunyo” means world in Javanese or could also mean property. The power of the pamor Jung Isi Dunyo is believed to help its owner find happiness and accumulate wealth. This dapur has a simple gandik. The ganja is mbatok mengkureb.
