Bethok Buddha Keris Budaya Nusantara

Thailand, Filipina, Kamboja, dan Brunei Darussalam. Jadi, boleh dikatakan budaya keris dapat dijumpai di semua daerah bekas wilayah kekuasan dan wilayah yang dipengaruhi Kerajaan Majapahit. Itulah sebabnya beberapa ahli budaya menyebutkan, keris adalah budaya Nusantara.

 

Keris tertua dibuat di Pulau Jawa, diduga sekitar abad ke-6 atau ke-7. Di kalangan penggemarnya, keris buatan masa itu disebut keris Buda. Sesuai dengan kedudukannya sebagai sebuah karya awal sebuah budaya, bentuknya masih sederhana. Tetapi bahan besinya menurut ukuran zamannya, tergolong pilihan, dan cara pembuatannya diperkirakan tidak jauh berbeda dengan cara pembuatan keris yang kita kenal sekarang. Keris Buda hampir tidak berpamor. Seandainya ada pamor pada bilah keris itu, maka pamor itu selalu tergolong pamor tiban, yaitu pamor yang bentuk gambarannya tidak direncanakan oleh Sang Empu.
