ID a Balinese or Lombok keris

I tried to ID this keris myself but do advise me if it is not correct.

A rare pamor keris?

Late 19th century Balinese or Lombok keris (based on tang type) without waranga.

The design of gonjo gives me impression it is lombok but I could be wrong.

Pamor maybe is lintah kemukus aka flying comet.

Hello Anthony,

This blade is likely to originate from Lombok, indeed.

Lalu Djelenga shows several blades with this linear pamor type which commonly exhibits a separate motif at the base; he calls this double motif pamor wujud (aka pamor dwi warna on Java). Your example seems to approach pamor kukus gunung (p. 221).

Regards,
Kai
