Hi Gustav,
The intention of its previous owner or empu is similar for Blue Erf keris which is luck charm.
Definition of Tapak Jalak
Tapak = Steps or langkah which is equal to moves in pencak silat.
Jalak = Is the term for the cross sign.
In pencak silat/ninja there are moves for tapak jalak....crossing legs while doing stances or movement from point to point.
Regards.

A similar sign appears on the gonjo of the beautiful keris of Blue Erf: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...warriors+keris |
