Yes, form is correct, but sometimes they will have a gonjo, sometimes the gonjo might be iras, ie, just marked on the blade, not fitted separately.
The ones with no gonjo have sometimes had a gonjo fitted & it has been lost, other times they appear to have never had a gonjo. |

In my opinion, though not as experienced as others, the kris you show is South Sumatran Kris .
I have never seen that particular dhapur featured here (but others with more experience may be familiar with them) The " ganja" appears to be not really separated from the blade with a " symbolic" separation Last edited by milandro; 11th September 2024 at 11:00 AM. |

they seem to exist with and without a Ganja.
The dress and hilt are Madurese and I think that, once cleaned and stained, the blade may, possibly, show as being pamor adeg rambut |
