Gustav, some are curved at the top, some are not. Some Jogja pendok are made for court dress some are not. There is a lot of variation in pendoks & other dress and this is particularly true where where dress has been made to order, or made outside a major hub. Just because something does not follow a pattern such as we are used to seeing, that does not mean it misses a classification entirely.
What I said in my previous post was that it looked like Jogja. The thing that would make it Jogja or not is not the curve at the top of the pendok, it is the overall form, & whether or not that form fits the Jogja style. Lots of different pendoks from lots of different areas have a curved top, but the Jogja style pendok has a more narrow buntut that Solo or Banyumas.
Incidentally, if we wanted to turn a Jogja pendok with a curved top into a pendok with a flat top, that is a pretty easy thing to do, we just square it off & give it a new lis. No big deal. Stuff like this are sometimes done.
