Pamor ron kenduru/genduru?

But in any case, it is old, it is miring, it is complex, all this makes it a pretty worthwhile thing to have.

Thanks Alan and David.

1)So let's say that this keris was made sometime in the 1800's. Will the Bulu ayam be considered a rare/difficult pamor to make then?
2) How long do you think it would have taken the Empu back then to produce the blade (start to finish)?

Cheers.
