Balinese blade with pamor miring

henri · 27th February 2014, 01:20 AM

Dear members ,
I would like to submit to your attention a keris I recently bought from Lombok with a pamor miring ( Lar Gangsir I guess ) .
This kind of pamor looks pretty unusual for a balinese blade and after consulting some senior members it looks like nobody has really encountered a pamor miring on a balinese blade .

So … just wondering if some of you have some experience to share or similar blades with a balinese dapur and a pamor miring .

The blade " looks " old but may due to a lack of maintenance could have been made recently ( say 30 to 50 years ago ) but as usually ... very tricky to say . After consulting the Djelenga book ( thank you Jean ) there are no really keris showing this kind of pamor more common in Jawa and Madura and the Neka book shows some but new made .
