Yes. David was right. It was too frontal. With these pictures we are quit sure there is no figure of what kind in the gandik.

Hard to classify this keris. I'm with David and Alan. I cann't either subscribe the meaning of tunggulametung. What I see is a very nice old keris. Not a masterpiece, but I love it.
Dhapur has a Damar Murub appearance and the pamor is wos wutah or beras wutah. I have an old dutch book that says when the dhapur cann't be named all different names of the individual parts should be mentioned. In the way tunggulametung did.

Anyway imho a very attractive older keris.
