In your research you should always have an objective, & once that objective has been identified, you can then pursue it.
In my experience, the "shotgun approach" of trying to learn everything at the same time does not produce particularly positive results.

Pesi.
I would most definitely remove the wrapping on the pesi, lightly clean & oil the pesi, and replace the wrapping with knitting wool. |
Thank you very much
I am reading through all of your website and this is among the first I looked at, it is very fascinating! I feel very grateful such a knowledgable person is answering my newbie questions. I feel like talking to the David Attenborough of the Keris world.
If you seriously do not mind, I would probably have dozens of questions to ask, but I really do not want to waste your time. Thank you very much for your insight on the pattern. I guess it makes sense to not use an overly complicated pattern, it would distract from the nagas central role? I am in my mid 40s, married and with children, so I would fulfil those basic requirements
I would not be able to be taught the way you have, married with children means my main responsibilities are elsewhere... but when interested in a topic, I try to study it thoroughly.
If I judge your approach correctly, you might think "he posed questions before that he has not yet received answers to. If he thinks these questions are important, he should ask them again". You were right, I asked about the pamor again and you once again gave me an incredibly insightful answer
So let me pose the other question that I haven't been able to find the answer to yet... what is my naga "holding"?
Could you give me an insight on what the pointy thing below his mouth is?
Thank you so much
