Smile Seems Like

This seems to be a solid pamor version of the motif pictured below .
The pamor on this keris has been applied over a core and has not been heavily etched .

Marco, is your question about the dhapur or the pamor. The pamor looks like Blarak Ngirid without a core. I think the lack of a core is what is giving it the unusual appearance you are wondering about. Looks like a contemporary piece to me.

That's pamor Ri Wader alright, it's the vertical type of pamor (pamor miring).. I like the structure, although it has no core.. imho, battle worthiness is questionable, but aesthetically pleasing.. I've had the opportunity to closely look at a few of these before, nice find..

Marco, obviously the blade has been etched, but i think the raggedy edges is, as i mentioned before, due to the lack of a core to the blade more than anything else.
