Hi,
Can this be a random mlumah pamor - perhaps Wos Wutah? Length of Blade - 42cm. Tip to base of ganja. Were these types of islamic themed keris commonly produced for sale or mainly commissioned? Cheers. |

In what I can see, this pamor looks like the remnants of a pamor miring, but i cannot guess what it might have been made as from these photos, I alsi cannot name the pamor in the sorsoran from memory, to give a supportable opinion I would need this keris in hand, along with a decent reference book & a 3X loupe.
Keris dress with Islamic motifs can be both made to order or made as a stock item. It appears to have become much more popular in Indonesia, along with the rise of Islam in recent years. |

To me it looks like two twisted bars with low twist frequency on a side, divided by a Miring stripe, plus Puser.
As Alan said, remnants of Pamor, the structure of twisted bars still recognizable in a couple of places on Sorsoran or better, lower third of the blade. |

Agreed Gustav, the overall impression is as you state, however I cannot see sufficient detail in the photo to let me identify the grain orientation.
The little roundish thing in the sorsoran does not have a form I recognise, so I cannot name it. |

I do like this blade very much. The wrongko seems to be nicely crafted, though not particularly a style i enjoy. I wonder is anyone is capable of translating the script, though it is very likely a verse from the Quran. The donoriko hilt is also nicely carved, but personally i find these appear too over done when they have the bulky selut attached. Over all a nice keris though. |

On the top is Allah SWT and the longer ayat is Ayatul Kursi (The Throne Verse) from the Holy Quran. Cheers. |
