Frankly i was more wonder why you felt this keris was likely to have had a suasa pendok than whether it held a motif or not. I haven't seen too many suasa pendok of Palembang keris at all, though certainly they exist. But in general i am just not used to see you be so speculative so i was questioning you in hopes of understand what fueled your suspicions enough to comment on it.
