Another nice piece. Love the pamor. Is it recent or a recent etching?

Wow, very nice one with beautiful pamor. Don't think it's recent but fresh etched.
Have a similar one in my collection, the form is the same but your's is more nice. Regards, Detlef |

Is it certain that this style is from Sulawesi?
I've had several of these over the years, got the first in Jawa in about 1970, and anybody over there who has given an opinion on this style has always said they were Javanese. I do not know where they come from. Do we have a believable source? |

Pamor
The pamor is quite interesting. It looks to be a mixture of (at least) two types. The circles might be an example of melati rinonce "Chain of melati flowers". The spirit of this pamor is Healer; attracts wealth, heals bad karma. The pamor along the edge if the blade I cannot identify.
It takes considerable skill for an empu to create a blade with to or more pamor. This s pretty well done on t east one side. The second picture of the blade showing the obverse side is not so nice IMHO. I like it and would value it in my collection! David |
