i don't know whether this experiment is useful or not. My friend has designed a pendhok with "batik" motif, and ordered it to a pendhok maker in Solo (Central Java, Indonesia). And this "batik motif in pendhok", is still the only one. Not yet produced commercially. The name of the motif in traditional Javanese batik, we call it "parang motif". The dark colour in the parang motif in pendhok, is from acrylic paint and then fixed with clear paint...

This is a beautiful pendok. I think that the art of keris still has room for growth and evolution. I think that this is a very fitting pattern. My only concern would be the use of acrylic paint. I would be worried about how it would wear and age. It might me interesting to do the black part as an enamel.

If the door is open to non-trditional approaches, why not combine two javanese artforms and do it as batik is done with dyes and a wax resist on light wood. Or maybe actual batik fabric "laminated" to the scabard with laquer as the japanese do.

Dear Montino Bourbon, Marco, Raden Oesman, Sukuh, Battara, Asomotif, P Abrera and of course David, thank you for all your positive comments. I've given your comments to the designer -- he has good "garap" too in finishing keris blades...
