Hello Hans,

pamor tambal describe/mean a insirted piece of metal, most of the time from an older blade, inside the blade, equal if rounded or squarish and what I can see from your pictures it is just like this.
I have a keris also with squarish pamor tambal, will post pictures.

Best regards,

Detlef

My remembering was incorrect, the tamal blade I have hasn't a squrish tambal motive but it isn't round neither. sorry for the not best pictures, I just have taken them.

The word "tambal" means a patch.

This is so in both Javanese and Indonesian.

Pamor tambal is any pamor where a patch of pamor has been welded to the blade, either during its original production, or later in its life. That patch of pamor can be either mlumah or miring.

For those of you who have actually been to Indonesia, throw your minds back to the sign often seen at the side of the road:-


"TAMBAL BAN"

This means

"PATCH TYRE"

In other words:- "tyre repairs are done here", and these repairs are done by patching the tyre.

Pamor tambal has nothing at all to do with shape, or the kind of material used, it simply means that the pamor has been applied as a patch.

oke thank you for the info
and thank you for your picteurs Sajen
