Well, it's 05:21 Wednesday, and since I'm awake and the post not yet commented on...

What is that dhapur called? The ganja looks like a good, tight fit. Don't see any obvious cracks, flaws, divots...cold shuts? No...scale pits; that's what I think I frequently see. The pamor looks like buntel mayit/mayat; I've never seen it wrap around so many times. I see quite a few very recently made keris with pamor that has a certain "smeared" appearance at the edges, but not here. At least, not from what I can see in the photos.

Hold on... If it's a keris ligan, and if "Shiva/Siva Eyes" are frequently found in keris ligan, does "keris ligan" constitute some sort of sub-category of keris in which special rules or none at all apply to dhapur and/or ricikan?
