Hello Max,
Quote:
The pamor work looks quite decent; finding a genuine antique blade with superior pamor of this type would be quite a feat (not to mention steep dowry...). From a purist keris Jawa perspective, I believe that the scroll work at the base of the blade is not convincing at all; however, since this keris is obviously not intended to conform with any keraton pakem from Jawa, this is kinda like comparing apples to oranges. I'd prefer better attention to detail though. Who did craft this blade? Regards, Kai |
