Summary
The scene in bas relief of Sukuh Temple in Central Java dated from 15th century Majapahit era shows the workshop of a Javanese keris blacksmith. The scene depicted Bhima as the blacksmith in the left forging the metal, Ganesha in the center, and Arjuna in the right operating the tube blower to pump air into the furnace. The wall behind the blacksmith displays various items manufactured in the forge, including keris. These representations of the keris in Candi Sukuh established the fact that by the year 1437 the keris had already gained an important place within Javanese culture.
