From a photo without selut or from a photo of the face alone maybe is possible to have better clues.

Dear Marco,
These are the fotos of "the hunchback of Java" you want to see...

Now i can see better: this pendawa hit could be 70% Jawa ( cirebon tegal : 50%, central Jawa 20%) and 30% Madura (no Sumbawa, no Sumatra)

The other hit could be the same

Pak Ganja, AlamShah and friends,

So, what exactly the correct dapur that can go with the "hunchback of Java" and the semar? If not so much trouble, examples with pics please. Thx.

Dear Penangsang,

Regarding Semar is a "tindih" (neutralizer?) for of the Pandawa, I prefer to put the "semar hilt" in a tindih keris like this Jalak Budo. And I prefer the type of Javanese "walikat" like this. I hope it will fit properly....

Looks fitting and appropriate. The broad hilt matches the broad blade and sheath. Philosophy-wise is also fitting, me think.
