Tiban, Pamor

is a pamor motif which is not planned by the Empu. It is only forged while he prays. It is dedicated to the god YMK. This is also called pamor Jwalana or own pamor. This pamor includes e.g. Wos Wutah, Kulit Semangka, Pedaringan Kebak, Pulo Tirto and Tunggak Semi.

Tikel Alis

or Wideng is a part of a keris, forming a track on the blade. It begins above the Gandik, bends upward and is approx. 35 mm long. Not all krisses have a Tikel Alis. It is a sign of the determination of the Dapur. There are three types of Tikel Alis: Jugag (indistinct curve), Nratas (with a broken arc) and Pepe (narrow and mostly lying inside) and several subspecies. See the forms in detail here.

The Dapur Tilam Upih has in contrast, no Tingil. Mostly, the blade is thin and flat, as there is no Ada Ada or Gusen. Keris experts mean this Dapur is good for men who already have family. The magical power confers peace and security for the family.
