Very old Broyol keris lurus with pamor Ngulit Semongko from East Java

Old keris lurus from East Java with difficult to a hard to distinguish pamor due to its age and old keris oils. The keris is fully brass plated with a beautiful patina due to its age. A straight lurus keris reminds and directs the owner to a honest and righteous way of living. Although Brojol is a fairly simple shape its power is complex. It empowers the owner to live his life in a pure and peaceful way, the owner will be protected and he will be impervious to stress and distractions, making him more focused on achieving his goals in life.

As stated earlier it is difficult to verify the pamor, if I am right, I suppose it is Pamor Kulit Semangka. This pamor is a motif that rather frequently occurs. The pamor Kulit Semangka is technically sufficient fold to 24 layers or even only 16 layers. It looks like pamor Beras Wutah but very simple and without rice. The main magical strength of pamor Kulit Semangka is making the owner more flexible in dealing with people from all, it also contributes that the owner can easily obtain income.
