Sorry, but this keris is not keris picit even if made by Empu anak. It is a nice keris, and sorry, but I cannot tell why the dot impression.

ANOTHER POSSIBILITY WOULD BE A SMALL CALIBER LOW VELOCITY BULLET STRIKE. EXAMPLES ARE TO BE FOUND IN MORO KRIS SO IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE IT MIGHT HAVE OCCURED IN KERIS FROM OTHER PLACES. IF IT IS PURPOSFULLY FORGED IN THE BLADE THEN PERHAPS IT HELD A BIT OF GOLD AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST. ITS A NICE LOOKING KERIS WITH A XTRA ADDED MYSTERY.

CONGRADULATIONS!!

Hey Lew. You have shown this one before and i like it very much. I have to agree with the general sentiment that it is not picit, but i also do not believe it is a bullet strike. This impression looks very intentional and well placed. I couldn't begin to tell you why it is there, but it had meaning to it's maker for sure.
