Small Keris

Nice keris. Looks very good.

The pamor is pamor tambal. Pamor tambal is usually made up of pieces of another keris, inlaid into an existing one. This other keris will have had a high esoteric value, like for instance an old pusaka, wich is expected to be transferred to the excisting keris. Those who believe this will hold pamor tambal in high regard. Others have a derogatory opinion: "a patched up keris".

So the answer on the remark that you was told that the blade is forged from a broken blade is yes and no.
