Hello Anthony,

This blade is likely to originate from Lombok, indeed.

Lalu Djelenga shows several blades with this linear pamor type which commonly exhibits a separate motif at the base; he calls this double motif pamor wujud (aka pamor dwi warna on Java). Your example seems to approach pamor kukus gunung (p. 221).

Regards,
Kai
