Hello
Please could you help with identifying the pamor on this keris? I was told it is Kupu Tarung(Fighting Butterflies). However in Catalogue 82 of Alan Maisey I think I can see a similar pamor on Keris 4 called Pamor Santa/Bendo Segodo. Is mine also a Pamor Santa/Bendo Segodo then?
Also I would be grateful for your thoughts on the likely age and the quality of this keris. I was told it is Mataram era. Blade length is 44 cm.
Best wishes
Sid
