Ferrylaki, i think you have misunderstood Rick's question. We are mostly all aware of what pamor IS or means. I believe Rick is asking for opinions on how it developed. Was it always intended or was it at first an accident of the forging process where the empu said, hey, that's a cool pattern, maybe i can do that on purpose next time...and better? Then slowly over time did the different patterns get assigned various meanings and attributes?
BTW, the question of meteoric ore in keris is one we have discussed here many times. Try the search function to see what was discussed. In all those many discussions i still have seen no evidence that meteoric ore was used in keris before the Prambanan meteorite fell in the mid 18th century. If you have any evidence to the contrary i would be very interested in hearing it.
