Pamor have two understanding. The first, a description refers to a specific form of line, curve, circle, stain, dot, or stripe that appears on the surface of the keris, spears, and other tosan charm. The second, as the material is Pamor.Pamor image pattern form on the surface of the keris because of differences in color and feel the difference from the metal used as a raw material for the making of keris, spears, and other tosan charm. With hammering techniques, the metal ignites the raw material in the form of keris lamina, but not the pro or dissolved compound with one another. Because of the slice on the surface of the keris, the pamor image will be created.
Pamor image is made clear with the beautifully made and how to give warang to keris, spears, or tosan aji. Once exposed to solvents the warang, the keris is made of steel will show a black and greyish, that of a black iron, while that of Pamor will display white or silver.
Hammering technique in the making of weapons with Pamor is a unique skill of Indonesia, especially Java. Pamor even art may be spelled the discovery of Indonesian. No nation other than Indonesia, which note in the cultural history of art with Pamor tempa weapons, before the 10 th century.
Some forty years ago, several books written by the West, said that the Persia (now Iran) some centuries ago, also know Pamor with sharp weapons. When stored in the Tehran Museum is tikam weapons and swords decorated with gold Inlay technique. In Java, decorate similar technique called the serasah or sinarasah. That is almost similar to the technique is hammering kris sword of Damascus or Damascus steel (Iraq). The difference, Pamor arising on the surface of the sword in Damascus is not so pay attention-by the sword smith in there. They only made to the sharpness of his sword, not the beauty of his work, because the main goal of making a sword that is only to kill. Unlike the keris, which made not only to injure people, but more to inheritance, to increase the confidence, and pride for themselves, families, and groups.
Origin of the Pamor
No data is written that when the people of Indonesia (Java) to find Pamor weapons with hammering technique. However, if the views that some of the keris Jalak Buddha already Pamor display picture, can be estimated Pamor known at least since the Indonesian people to the centuries-7. Pamor they know it happened because they did not accidentally, when some mix of iron cut from a different area. Differences in the composition of metal in the compound of iron which they used as a raw material for the making of a keris that is the cause of different colors on the surface of the keris, so that the display image Pamor.

Keris and spear in the Jenggala era already engineering keris shown a very beautiful and imposing Pamor. Pamor is clearly not from inadvertence, but because the hammering and engineering techniques from the master. This is a cause, whether Jenggala in the world with the keris Jenggala in science history? Why public culture in the kingdom that was founded on the century-11 is already skilled engineering to create art Pamor?
