Hi Alan, could you please kindly explain the term
gedhegan?
I have heard the term Gedhagan used by Indonesian dealers to describe pamor that gives illusion that the blade surface is not flat depending on the angle (looks like relief) whereas in reality it is flat.
Looking at the keris in question it does not give this visual illusion so it is either my source is wrong or it can have different meaning?
Thank you.
