To be able to give a reasonably defensible opinion of an unclear or unusual pamor motif we need to be able to see and understand how the motif was made, and try as I might I cannot see this from the photos.

Again Ferry, my apologies, but this is one of those blades that I could only comment on if it were in my hand.
its OK Alan, I do understand your reason.
the pamor it self is a little bit disturbed. if only the right side and the left side meet exactly in the centre, it would become a kupu tarung pamor.
thank you all for the comments upon my threat.
I would like to post another one soon.

You have it in your hand, Ferry.

Try to understand how it was made and what the maker was trying to produce. Maybe it is as you say, a kupu tarung that did not succeed, but to know this you must understand how kupu tarung is made and see if that evidence is in the blade.
