Regarding the blade, that is what Alan probably would call a ghost of a blade: there is merely a slorok left of it, with residual traces of pamor material.

Looking at how the blumbangan is made it was not so bad.

The following is of course naive, yet I always imagined, a Pusaka of common village people could look somehow like this (see also the last pictures in van Duurens publication of Gronemans book).
