Please forgive me for the reference to Gustav’s element but that is the terminology used in a lengthy thread sometime ago. Was wondering if this KERIS exhibits the same features as the early keris shared in that thread.

Hello RSWORD,

no, it's a conventional Greneng on a relatively young blade. The "Dha" element on Greneng is so to say abbreviated, without the small "teath" in the middle (like the one on Jenggot), but that's a feature we sometimes see also on older blades.

Thank you for the feedback.

Is the keris illustrated above an example of dapur Parungsari?

The keris shown in this thread are Balinese and parungsari is a Javanese dhapur AFAIK, so i would think not, though they do fulfill many of the ricikan requirements for that particular Javanese dhapur.
