Thumbs up Bali gandar sarong part

Ron,
The painted (usually ochre colour) backside "gandar" is quite common to bali keris.
I think this sarong did't have the half pendok.
This painted backside is to prevent wear.
I have heard this paint contains arsenic components so beware when you repaint this.
best regards,
Gert-Jan
