I so love these carved ivory keris hilts. Beautiful.

Is that chevron pattern pamor traditional? Is is uncommon?

Welcome to the forum.

any idea about this pamor ?

I'll try to give my opinion about this keris.
It a beautiful keris. Maybe now, very difficult to get keris like this.
This keris like an Old Madura - Majapahit. I mean, made at and by Maduranesse Mpu in Majapahit era.
The Pamor, I called Kupu Tarung or Tambal, but maybe can called Blarak with a "Pamor Luluhan".
Very nice keris and wrangka.

If you don't mind, would you please give me know about price of this piece ? ...and if you don't like this, may I buy this keris ?

Regards,

Hi Weta. This is indeed a beautiful keris. The ivory ukiran is also quite nice. I also really like that lovely jeweled mendak. I must admit i don't particularly care for the pendok, it seems too over done for the overall look of this ensemble. Maybe over time as it loses some of it's brightness it might settle in a bit.

Still, it is beautifully executed.
Exotic pamor are not my strong suit, but i'd say this pamor resembles ron duru more than blarak, except it is moving in the wrong direction. Thanks for showing.
