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 on Tuban (16th century). The pamor is Ngulit Semangka. It is believed that the pamor Ngulit Semangka is able to expand associations, be popular with everyone and make it easier for the owner to seek happiness. Basically, when we get along well and are liked by many people, the door to happiness is wide open for us, because opportunities can come from anywhere. There are also those who argue that the stripe motifs on pamor Ngulit Semangka are like different roads/paths leading to a destination. It is a message that in this life we should not be discouraged from achieving our goals and hopes. This dapur has a simple gandik. The ganja is mbatok mengkureb.

The warangka is in the gayaman Surakarta style made of timoho wood. The pendok is a pendok blewahan made of gold-colored metal. The handle is Surakarta style made of timoho wood. The mendak is silver in color.
