Hallo semar, I think the keris on the first picture is a keris ligan. In addition to what Alan mentioned above, looking at the pictures of keris ligan in my Keris in Lombok book, it seems like all keris ligan don't have gandik, sekar kacang, jenggot, lambe gajah etc ( all the ricikan on the left side of the keris if you hold the keris as usual). It does have sogokan, bungkul and ada ada. About the size, I am not sure if it has to be bigger than normal Bali/Lombok keris.
To Marcokeris, brekele and Newsteel, thanks for your comments

Honestly,first impression, spooky , It reminds me of Jack O Lantern (the carved pumpkin). Rick, does your picture have anything to do with the upcoming halloween?

(joking)
I browse my Keris in Lombok book by Ir. Lalu Djelenga, and found very little information regarding this open space, in fact so far I found none mentioning about the "Shiva's eyes". There are only a few keris in the pictures that have shiva's eyes. Does anyone have any information about the Shiva's eyes?

Hmmm, you're right Gwirya .

I noticed that while processing the shot last night; any way it gives a good silhouette image of the spaces .

Trick or Treat anyone ??

A ligan -- either Lombok or Balinese -- with "double gandhik". Regol ligan? It has two sogokanS in each side. I am not sure what "angun-angunan" (dhapur) it is...

These are more close ups on the sogokan and the sor-soran of this ligan (keris pedang)...

I hope, it is a keris ligan. Length: 49 cm. An interesting connexion of blade and ganja.

An interesting thing about the ganja is that it echos the crossguard form of a Javanese pedang .
