It looks as if layers of U curved mille feuille of iron and nickel were somehow stacked on both sides of a central core, with an inner layer of softer blackened iron which seems to have been etched to let the Pamor stand out in low relief. The wayviness of the pattern varies through the blade, creating another surface effect towards the tip of the keris.
For over a decade, I've been studying this.

More than "Kelabang Sayuta" (a million of "kelabang", kind of insect with so many feet). I see also "satrio pinayungan" pamor near the tip of your blade... (a form of "ujung gunung" in the very top of the whole pamor)...
