That said, we are not looking at a high end piece of Balinese/Lombok keris art here. The proportions are not bad, but i might stop short of using the word "elegant". Ricikin such as greneng, sekar kacang and jalen all seem rather rough and not particularly well formed.
I would agree with Alan that pamor santa would probably be the best name for this pamor and that 19th century Lombok is a likely origin. I can assure you that real members of our forum have indeed been viewing this thread, but i am not sure what more engagement you were hoping for.
Hi David
I had asked some questions which Alan has kindly responded to. That is the engagement I sought along with your own observations. Getting g thousands of views is great but I would not call that engagement in any meaningful way as it does not facilitate any learning.
