This badik is a badik Suduk Maru. The pamor is Keleng. This pamor is also known as a pamor kelengan. This term refers to the pattern on a traditional Javanese blade, especially on a kris that does not have a visible pamor (pattern). The blade of the keris kelengan is black and shiny as it is not decorated with pamor. Although it has no external decoration, the keris kelengan still holds a unique appeal for lovers of tosan aji (traditional Indonesian artifacts). This keris places emphasis on the maturity of forging and the perfection of craftsmanship. The perfection includes the design of the blade, its shape and all the details. It symbolizes not only a mystical weapon but also the transformation of the soul. The keris kelengan reveals a simple beauty and holds profound mysteries. The keris kelengan connects the physical world with the inner world of the soul. The choice of pamor can influence the characteristics and fate of the wearer. It is a symbol of the connection between the visible and the invisible.
The sheath and handle are made of silver-colored alpack and feature beautiful hand-crafted motifs.
The blade is 8 inches (20 cm) long and the total length is 12 ½ inches (32 cm).
