Dhapur Keris Marak
Dhapur Keris Marak when viewed from the physical, if it is of medium size and the gandik is plain, it also uses a bribe on the front and there is a complete greneng without any other rigging.
The rise of the Javanese word which means 'come facing'. The term rift can mean to come before a king, leader, person of a higher rank or to someone who is considered older. In the world of kris, the rise is one of the typologies (dhapur) of straight keris with details: gandik plain, pejetan/tigasan, bribe front/arep (one), tikel eyebrow/brow, ada-ada/usuk and greneng/reringitan. In general, this kris blade has a medium-sized appearance, looks handsome, charismatic and dignified.
Dhapur kris blades are classified as relatively few (less popular) kris blades. This kris blade is usually found in Javanese kris (Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Cirebon, Sunda), Madura, Bali and Lombok. This kris is arguably very rare to find in Malay or Bugis kris.
The dhapur rift keris is sometimes also called the dhapur peacock (peacock). This term is possible because of the distortion of the pronunciation of the word from mara to peacock where the two have very different meanings. Distortion of pronunciation in Javanese or other regional languages is very likely due to the complexity of Javanese grammar (regional language).
