I'm more inclined to think it is a repair, maybe the front of the wrongko was a bit marked/scuffed/indented and somebody outside the society or culture took to it with a sharp knife & some cabinet...

The style accords with Surakarta Ladrangan Capu, but there are variations to the interpretation that could be due to either original carving or to repair & refinishing of a damaged section. If the...

Actually, the jejeran does have cecekan.

In Jawa Tengah, a planar hilt lacking cecekan is usually used for sandang walikat dress, it does not relate to hierarchical status.

Jawa was a big exporter of weapon blades for a very long time & over a very big area. We can expect to find weapon blades that were made in Jawa in many places.

Thank you for this question Ian.

The concept of "wanda" is that the outward appearance of something can create an internal feeling in the viewer.
