Yes definitely. You can see that the posture looks like the Alidha/pratyalidha standing position... But if you look them from the back they look seated and I have not been able to find a seated posture that look like that. You know that all the posture have their meaning (like almost everything in the keris). I find strange that such an important part of the kriss would be sculptured always the same way without a good reason.
I've been through an interesting study about durga

and as you'll see in the postures the right foot is almost always upper than the left. Is this the model?
