This high end templek pendok always amazed me, thank you for showing Alan.

Am I correct to guess the materials are silver and gold plated?

Also does the pendok motifs have a hierarchical rank like the pendok color? In a sense are there some motifs attributed to certain ranks?

Thank you.

Gustav, everything is relative:- we do not compare apples & oranges, there is no universal norm.

Seeing Alan's Post and having dug this keris out after some years, is this pending of any special merit? Seems well made to my eyes but your thoughts would be appreciated.
