Brojol keris with Dwiwarna pamor from Java

Keris with dapur Brojol. This is a special pamor situation also known as Dwiwarna, two pamors. In this case there is not only Udan Mas pamor but also pamor Ngulit Semangka.

Pamor Udan Mas is a pleased and well sought after pamor motif in the world of keris. It is striking that nearly (90%) of all krisses with pamor Udan are straight ones. The image of pamor Udan Mas is formed globules with at least three, yet usually more than five sections. The diameter is approximately 5 mm. The position of the globules can be orderly in groups or free globules and unordered.

The magical strength of pamor Udan Mas brings prosperity and good luck. This conception is not only in Indonesia, but certainly also applies in Malaysia and Brunei. In Java keris with pamor Udan Mas are considered as very best. Udan Mas is in great appetite with entrepreneurs and traders. Because of this situation the pamor Udan Mas has become very expensive and many counterfeiting’s have come on the market.

In addition, the wilah is also forged with pamor Ngulit Semangka. The pamor lines of Ngulit Semangka are like the different ways leading to a direction. It empowers the owner's belief to find and use different ways to realize his goals and ideals and to carry on without being discouraged, to keep on struggling and to never give up. The wilah has recently been ritually and professionally washed, making the pamor very bright again.

The wilah is forged to Brojol dapur (shape). The philosophy of the dhapur Brojol we surrender to the spiritual power of the supernatural.
