Material used for decoration, could it be mamas?
I was debating this with a friend about these decoration I have on a modern Bugis keris.
I recently visited a Dutch dealer who just got a shipment with at least a dozen of Bugis krises showing material with looked pretty much the same.
Now , I always thought it was embossed on a sheet of aluminum but both my friend and the dealer told me it was Mamas, although Mamas often shows a " golden" sheen .
