Hello Arathon,
Ing G.J.F.J Tammens did a good job by writing his keris books.
Like he mentioned himself, a important source is the work of Groneman.
But besides that he combined and compares other sources too.
When it comes to the pamor types in my opinion the main source lies not in the articles Groneman wrote....correct me if wrong. ( maybe other keris study fanatics can help us out)
If you study the pamor types of Tammens, you will find out that - i will not say mistakes - opinions of how excactly a pamor look like are different.
..as far for the drawings...some pamor patrons are more abstract or complex then the drawings. Besides that some mentioned pamors are made upon old javanese manuscripts/ writing. For example if you ask all members to draw a car, would you have 2 exact drawings?
...i hope one of the forum members can help us with this pamor too.
pictures and drawings please!
greetings
Simatua
