Oh wait a minute... Maybe this pamor is not buntel mayit. It could be lar gansir or some variations of it. Buntel mayit, as I understand it, is supposed to have the pamor going continuously round and round the axis of the blade, thus resembling the cloth used to wrap the body of the deceased. In this case, the pamor lines are interrupted and confined to the middle of the blade.

But still, it is an awesome and beautiful tombak.
