Alan, what do you think about the one in van Duuren/Groneman on page 25?

Javanese, and old, obviously.

But I have never seen one.

When I say something like this I do not count pictures in books, because I rarely look at books, and seldom remember what is in them.My approach with most keris books is to read them as quickly as I can, then put them away and not open again until somebody asks me a question directly related to a particular book.
