Societal position : pamor miring vrs. mlumah

See Rassers:- "On the Javanese Keris"

When do we think the keris maker might have decided what pamor suited what person? When might this have begun to be an accepted practice?

Pamor miring costs more than pamor mlumah. Always has, always will. Much greater levels of skill required, much greater expenditure of time. So only people with the means to pay are going to be able to commission such a keris.

Lots of questions in this Jussi, and I don't think the answers are available at the moment.

But anyway, read Rassers, he'll give you one slant on this.
