Thumbs up Pamor

The pamor is quite interesting. It looks to be a mixture of (at least) two types. The circles might be an example of melati rinonce "Chain of melati flowers". The spirit of this pamor is Healer; attracts wealth, heals bad karma. The pamor along the edge if the blade I cannot identify.

It takes considerable skill for an empu to create a blade with to or more pamor. This s pretty well done on t east one side. The second picture of the blade showing the obverse side is not so nice IMHO.

I like it and would value it in my collection!
