Hello Neo,

Quote:
Could you please explain what you meant by bold pamor?
I was mainly referring to the high contrast between the pamor layers. Also, the pamor is tightly stacked (many layers) and pretty active.

Don't you think it's the pamor is somewhat similar to the one in this URL?
I get your point but also see a few differences; would definitely like to see more pics for comparision before forming an unqualified opinion...

By the way, the sor soran part of my keris is pretty wide, quite similar to the one depicted in this URL.
Yes, I see. Is this enough to base a Segaluh reference on? I admit that I keep being mystified about the tanguh game - on one hand it seems to attempt to establish an origin in a specific time period (or even narrow it down to a specific empu) and on the other hand there seems to quite a bit of leeway possibly also including later works done in the correct style and utilizing metals of suitable characteristics... Much to learn!

Regards,
Kai
