New Keris/Keris baru

Just to revive this thread on keris kemardikan I'd like to share a photo I came across on Toni Junus' Facebook page.

This keris won the SNKI Keris Award for The World in 2010.

Name: Kanjeng Kyai Singa Kura
Dhapur: Singa Kura Bener
Pamor: Jarot Asem

My main attraction to this keris is due to its slender shape and intriguing pamor, which is at the same time simple and complex. I think I would have liked the blade better without the singa-kura gandik, but that's personal preference. Does anyone know if there is any symbolism behind the lion-tortoise combo or is it just for show?

Hopefully other members will have more interesting modern keris to share.
