I'm sorry Penangsang, but that keris cannot be classified as any of the Mataram sub-divisions.Mataram Senopaten does not look even vaguely like this keris. Not in the smallest degree.

A dominant feature of a keris that may be classified as tangguh Mataram is that the blumbangan is square.

The blumbangan in the keris under discussion is bata adeg.

It cannot be classified as Mataram of any type.
