Mans,
thank you for uploading. perhaps, the corroded panji wilis at the gandik has the same motive as a relief on the top of lizard head. |

But my keris had "King" relief / figure on the gandik. So, do perhaps the kinatah motif under the gonjo is a Jamang (front of the crown)

Mans,
When I looked closely, your gandik seems like a human figure in a squatting position, wearing a wayang headgear, including the earpiece. Perhaps just my imagination.  The blade is beautiful. I love looking at the layering on the blade, side profile.

Mans,
High possibilites that the figure at gandik sure looks like a squatting man wearing a headgear - possibly a king wearing the crown. That kinatah at the ganja could be jamang motifs. Impressive!!! |

hi Alam,
Yes right that the figur looks like a human who wearing a wayang headgear . Hei.. thats not just imagination.. Different with me who always imagine when I have the superb collections of Keris Sumatera, Bugis and Semenanjung like yours..  Also thank to Newsteel, you have same opinion with me that the figure is a king wearing the crown in squatting position  By more pictures we can know more about the keris styles.. and I hope other forumities will post another keris with relief too for reference
