This antique straight keris comes from the  dapur Tilam Upih. Dapur 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 Keris 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 is Mataram Kacurigan Amangkurat (1645-1677). The pamor is Tirto Tejo. The meaning of Tirta Teja is that one expects popularity for the owner. For this reason many artists own a keris with this pamor. This Dapur has a plain Gandik. The ganja is Mbatok Mengkureb.

The warangka is made of old timoho wood in the Gayaman Yogyakarta style. The pendok is an old pendok blewahan made from Mama's material. This is a mixture of different metal alloys and contains a high proportion of silver. In the middle you will find a red fabric cover. The handle is made of light brown wood in Yogyakarta style. The mendak is made of gold-colored metal and set with a few white stones.

The length of the blade is 13 1/2 inches (34.5 cm) and the total length is 19 inches (48 cm).
