I don't know if it is unusual, but it is a beautiful example of modern keris art. Is the border actually a second pamor (wengkon) or is this part of the main pamor?

Nice example Marco.
In your close-up of the sorsoran the kembang kacang looks very elephant-like! I think I even see an elephant's eye .

Quite unusual methodolgy used to produce this pamor; not so unique in this day and age, but very certainly exceptional--- very exceptional--- for the PBX era and prior. Whoever made this was clearly an immensely talented pattern welder, and well before his time.
Yes David, it is a wengkon, created by a layer of contrasting mlumah material between the miring layer and the slorok. |
