Dear Hartadi,
You should better clean and etch the blade first as it is too rusty for clearly seeing the pamor.
The blade looks typically Bugis with a dapur Sepokal, and some triangular pamor motifs seem to appear along the blade, sort of pamor Tambal?
If you are lucky, you may find a blade with a similar pamor in the book Senjata Pusaka Bugis but I did not notice it. :)
Best regards

Hello teman,

agree, clean the blade and show it again!

Jean, Detelf and all.. my blade after cleaned.. still can't determine what type of pamor

Dear Hartadi,
Good cleaning result, very nice and complex Bugis pamor but a specific one (from Sumbawa?) so it is useless to try to name it by using Javanese names and again it does not seem to be shown in the book Senjata Pusaka Bugis so I have no idea :) :confused:
Congratulations
Jean

Very nice blade! But can't name the pamor. :shrug:

Please show the completed keris again! :)

Detlef
