Honestly,first impression, spooky , It reminds me of Jack O Lantern (the carved pumpkin). Rick, does your picture have anything to do with the upcoming halloween?

(joking)
I browse my Keris in Lombok book by Ir. Lalu Djelenga, and found very little information regarding this open space, in fact so far I found none mentioning about the "Shiva's eyes". There are only a few keris in the pictures that have shiva's eyes. Does anyone have any information about the Shiva's eyes?

Hmmm, you're right Gwirya .

I noticed that while processing the shot last night; any way it gives a good silhouette image of the spaces .

Trick or Treat anyone ??

A ligan -- either Lombok or Balinese -- with "double gandhik". Regol ligan? It has two sogokanS in each side. I am not sure what "angun-angunan" (dhapur) it is...

These are more close ups on the sogokan and the sor-soran of this ligan (keris pedang)...

I hope, it is a keris ligan. Length: 49 cm. An interesting connexion of blade and ganja.

Is there a change from dull to sharp a little more than halfway to the point on the greneng side of the blade, Gustav ?

If not, then you have an interesting Bali/Lombok keris form .

Rick,
there isn't such change, the blade is otherwise a current keris blade.

An interesting thing about the ganja is that it echos the crossguard form of a Javanese pedang .

Rick, to me the sor-soran part more looks like a "regol" dhapur of keris. A regol has two gandhiks, and no wadidang... (in "putihan" condition, this ligan's iron looks like 'wesi malela'...)
