From keris glossary on Alan's website:
"Cecekan -The small areas of carving (normally 2) on a Central Javanese planar ukiran which are said to be the stylised representation of a kala face."(source: http://www.kerisattosanaji.com/keris-glossary) If I'm not mistaken, a kala is a demon form in the Javanese and Hindu belief system. Kala also means "time" in sanskrit. Kala the personality is a Batara, a god, and is the god of time.
