Pamor
Question;
Is there a specific name within the Keris world for blades that have distinct differing pamors on each blade face? With thanks Gavin |
Dwi Warna, Gavin IIRC .
If I'm not someone will be along to correct the error soon . :D |
Thanks Rick,
I ran it through the translator to get an understanding of the literal translation; Dwi was not recognised but Warna is colour so if I was to hazard a guess this would be double colour? Could this term then be used on a blade that also shows two pamor on the one face of the blade? With thanks Gavin |

I thought it the best way for me to help you, Gav . :)

in this context of pamor, 'warna' means pamor.
'dwi' = two 'tri' = three 'panca' = five. thus dwi warna = two pamors, tri warna = three pamors, panca warna = five pamors |
Hi Alan,
Am I correct in the application of these words being that it can refer to both a differing pamor to each face and also differing pamors to one face or is there more specific terms when drilling down this much. With thanks Gavin |
no gavin, these terms only refer to differing pamors that are the same on each blade face, when you have a different pamor on each blade face it is called pamor tangkis and is considered to be a protective device against black magic.

Keris tangkis example.

On Lombok different Pamor on each blade side is called Pamor Seliwah, according to Ir. H. Lalu Djelenga.

I am wondering about the name in other keris cultures too, Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra, Bali and the many others...Would Bali fall under the Java name perhaps? Gavin |
