No idea about the pamor, nevertheless an exceptional blade. My compliments.
It should look even more beautiful after etching.

Very nice keris! Would sort this pamor in maybe to the family of lar gangsir or ron kendhuru!? The pamor seems washed out at some places.

Regards,

Detlef

As to pamor I agree with Sajen: this could be a variation of ron genduru.
The hilt is obviously Maduran and the selut suggests me a Banjarmasin influence. In conclusion a great piece !

Thanks for your comment:

Quite possible, here and there the design is raised above the level of its background: “Like a carving in relief.”

One of the guess that it that it could be: walang-sinunduk comes from a Dutch book: "Pamoratlas” by: Ing.ean.Veenendaal.
Page 86 shows three drawings/pictures of: pamor walang –sinunduk
the middle one shows some similarity in appearance, but I found so far nothing else to compare.

So I am still open to any suggestions

Nice keris
IMO: a kind of lar gansir. Also walang sinuduk possibile

Hello Sirek,
This blade has a very strong Madurese flavor and Walang Sinuduk is a Javanese pamor so is it applicable? The name game would say Alan?
Best regards
Jean
