Is the meaning of this pamor known? |
Raja Abala Raja means... king with a force of kings; maharaja.
Looking at the pamor pattern... likely it seems that "a force is being reinforced again and again... from base to tip", symbolically.
Some Javanese believed that this pamor have the '
tuah' to make it's owner more charismatic and 'powerful'. Some also believed that this pamor can deflect danger in the battlefield.
David, Tengkurizan is a friend. I've seen his pieces up close and personal. Many great examples. Normally, I would ponder who, the original owner of such keris was?
