3. I'd add another shape in Ganja's shape from top view, namely Ganja Regol=Ganja with two heads, simply the opposite of Ganja Sepang. It belongs to dhapur regol (and yuyurumpung ? if I'm not mistaken) which has two gandiks. Quite rare, but it do exist.
Yes Mas Boedhi,

I have the same question about "ganja wuwung" (I hope my first picture below is one example of that straight, no curved "ganja wuwung"). Why, not included. If I'm not mistaken, some (or many) keris with tangguh "old tuban" have such "ganja wuwung"... And another example (picture) on ganja sepang...
