Oh yes Sirek.

Oh most definitely yes.

And this applies to all aspects of the keris.

I believe there has probably been more rubbish written about the keris than any other ethnographic object.Certainly more rubbish written about the keris than any other weapon.

With pamor, you need to understand how the pamor has been made before you can reliably identify the motif, its no good trying to match what it looks like to a picture.

Often you cannot see exactly how it has been made from a photograph and often the maker will have failed to execute a pamor without error, which complicates the matter.
