On the Panjang-hilt of Gav, doesn't it resemble more the northern Peninsular style of JD?

Thank you Michael, it is a super example you have there.

With the reference to the JD resembling Northern Sumatra, is it the high dorsal peak that denotes this, the oversized JD head or both...or perhaps neither???

To my novice Keris eye the shorter piece presented, the hilt seems to be "of a" style "in profile only" of those presented in Zonneveld....
