Question about preserving a keris

A. G. Maisey · 1st February 2022, 08:37 PM

Pande Made Gede Suardika is a known keris-smith, he would be about 50 years old now. He is located in Den Pasar.

His work is known as being quite heavy, his garap is known as being detailed & neat. His pamor is known as being well managed, but he specialises in pamor mlumah, not pamor miring. I have never heard of him making pamor miring.

I am quite surprised that he was able to produce this very complex pamor miring back in 2014. It would seem that in spite of him being so well known he is inclined to hide his light under a bushel.
