BATIK MOTIF -- in pendhok

[asomotif]

Lovely pattern on this new pendok. I like it.

It might me interesting to do the black part as an enamel.

Or maybe make this pendok out of silver.
Let the lower parts turn black naturally and polish the upper parts.

If the door is open to non-trditional approaches, why not combine two javanese artforms and do it as batik is done with dyes and a wax resist on light wood. Or maybe actual batik fabric "laminated" to the scabard with laquer as the japanese do.
