No David, no worthwhile comment on that style of pendok. I have seen pictures of a several of these and they always seem to be identified as North Coast/Cirebon, but I cannot remember handling one and I cannot give a supportable ID or time frame. I do have a very old wooden Cirebon wrongko where the gandar is shaped like this pendok style, so it very likely is Cirebon.

I have recollection of somebody telling me quite recently that this style of pendok has started to be made again by somebody, but I forget the details.
