Balebang keris ?

Very nicely rusted, a good job.

Some elements of this blade display very competent craftsmanship, some do not.

The full-length, very distinct odo2 is something I do not expect to see in a Mataram style of blade.

The jejeran is a Central Jawa style, but I doubt that it was carved in Central Jawa --- doubt only, I'd need to see the cecekan more clearly to be more certain of what I'm looking at.

Mendak East Jawa.

thank you for the inputs

I will take this into consideration about this keris
and I do agree this was supposed to be panimbal rather than balebang

and I will try to ask pictures of sirah cecek ...
