Keris For Comment

Hmmm... anyone noticed that Yogya ukirans are usually better carved than Solo ones. That is not to say the best examples from either region is better than the other, but on the average, Yogya ukirans tend to turn up better carved. Maybe because there are more tukangs out there trying to make a quick buck off Solo keris forms than Yogya keris forms.

So is there a name to this dapur? It certainly looks very different from the run-of-the-mill tilam upih.
