Ceblokan pamor (also sometimes called "titipan") is just as he described, pamor material that is added when the keris is 90% finished, hammered on top so to speak. Nothing to do with gold.
Ah. Thank you for the clarification. Honestly, my first thought when I read the original post was that pamor ceblokan referred to something like acid etching or other treatments to create the appearance of pamor. I have seen such things done to pedang (sword) and kujang blades, but I didn't/don't know the terminology.

I've never seen ceblokan pamor, I guess. How would one recognize it?
