Isn't that a beautiful keris?
A real classic.
North Coast alas2an motif.
As to rules. I know of none insofar as the motif is concerned, however, in the Surakarta court there are rules that govern the pendok colour and the background colour to the motif.
The "colour code" for Surakarta is:-
wrongko base colour
white or yellow --- bupati
gold --- pangeran
sea blue --- penewu
light green --- mantri
pendok colour
red --- royal family or bupati
green --- penewu
dark grey --- lurah
black --- jajar, and in addition a black pendok is permitted for all ranks and the general public for wear at a funeral
Court clowns --- pelawak --- are permitted a kemalo pendok of any colour, but they are required to wear it with a jejeran Rojomolo.
Source for the above was Empu Suparman.
